Tower Engineering Professionals, Inc. (TEP) is assisting CitySwitch, LLC with the construction of a proposed 250-ft AGL (254-ft overall with appurtenances) self-support communications tower. The proposed tower will be located at 2714 Collard Valley Road, northeast of Substation Road, west of Fish Creek Road, northeast of the City of Cedartown, in Polk County, Georgia. This project is located on Polk County Parcels # 035-054D and 035-054A. Installation of the communications tower and associated equipment is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
