Where we are going

Planning Process Requirements (Phase 2 – Well Sites, Traffic Signals, Emergency Vehicles) High speed connection Secure data connection Must be able to support Voice, Video, then data Transport of SCADA control (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) Towers cannot be visually obtrusive to the area.

Planning Process Concerns (Phase 2 – Well Sites, Traffic Signals, Emergency Vehicles) Topology and Other Constraints Identifying Obstacles – Buildings, Freeways, Overpasses, etc. HOA’s and Neighborhood concerns Future residential and business community growth
