Milestone Receives New Zoning Approvals
Two New Tower Locations Approved for Construction

Milestone is pleased to announce that two new wireless infrastructure sites have received zoning approval. First,  a 120-foot tower will be constructed at  Port Charlotte Middle School in Port Charlotte, FL, as part of Milestone's marketing agreement with Charlotte County Public Schools . This was the company's first partnership in Florida. The second installation will be a 105-foot panel structure at  Chinn Aquatics and Fitness Center in Prince William, VA, as part of a 15-year agreement with Prince William County Public Works. Milestone expanded this lease agreement in 2015 to include additional county-owned sites.
