Fulton County justices of the peace received an update on the construction of a fifth repeater tower near Nine Mile Ridge, located north of Hardy, during their regular monthly quorum court meeting last week.
According to officials, the new tower is expected to improve emergency communications across the county, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen critical infrastructure in rural areas. Details regarding the project's progress or timeline were not shared.
In addition to the tower update, the court discussed a road utility ordinance. While the specific provisions of the ordinance were not outlined during the meeting, such measures typically address the use of county roads and rights-of-way for utility purposes.
The justices of the peace also voted to approve an appropriation specific to the county road department. The allocation of these funds is expected to support road maintenance and other infrastructure priorities in the area, though exact figures and uses were not provided.
For residents in Fulton County, these updates highlight continued coordination on both vital communication technologies and road system priorities to meet the region's needs.
