Hudson hears concerns about cell towers
By Doug Grindle Community Reporter
Hudson - Hudson town officials said they are powerless to stop cell phone operators from erecting towers in the town and have only limited ability to mandate where they can be placed.
The Hudson selectmen were speaking at the Dec. 1 Board of Selectmen's meeting, in response to a query from Mark Calvanese, who said he opposed the placement of cell phone towers in residential neighborhoods.
Calvanese told the selectmen that his son is recovering from leukemia, and the radiation from cell towers could harm his health.
"There's medical evidence that kids recovering from leukemia in an EMF [electromagnetic field] environment have a poor survival rate," Calvanese told the selectmen.
He said he planned to move from his home on Champlain Drive. Calvanese said he is resigned to the tower, but the town should revamp its procedures in the future.
"We need to revamp the wireless overlay district for cell towers," Calvanese said. "Cell towers should not be built in residential neighborhoods."
