Federal Lawsuit Ensues After Maine City Opposes Cell Tower

ROCKLAND, Maine - An affiliate of AT&T has sued a Maine city over its decision to reject a proposed 120-foot cellphone tower. The Bangor Daily News reports Bay Communications filed the lawsuit against Rockland in federal court on Tuesday.

The city's planning board shot down the proposal after neighbors expressed opposition to it.

The company says the city is stopping it from meeting a federal mandate to provide as broad coverage as it possibly can. It wants the court to overrule the Rockland Planning Board.

The city had not yet filed a response to the lawsuit on Wednesday.
