Note:  GTCO-ATL is not associated with a law firm and is not recommending any particular attorney or law firm.  We do believe that it is a good idea to consult with one or more attorneys in order to determine if your rights have been violated and if there is anything that you can do legally to stop a cell tower from being built near your home or your child's school if you have concerns about the health and saftey issues, as we do. 

We are only trying to put forth the best information we have found in order to help our neighbors try to fight back against what we believe has been an unfair process for approval and zoning of public property to a commercial entity without input from the taxpayers.  Every community must work together to get the best results they can for their circumstances.  We encourage all communities, when speaking out, to be sure to mention that this process has been unfair to all schools involved.  We are hoping that, by working together, we can collectively stop a dangerous precedent that leaves the taxpayers, residents, parents and every other citizen that might be affected by a zoning decision of this magnitude out of the loop and places children in harm's way.  What is the purpose of zoning regulations in the first place if they cannot protect a residents from having a huge industrial structure built in the middle of their neighborhood?
