Dear Neighbors,
We received the following email from Gerrod Franklin, Assistant Director of Community Engagement of Fishers. I had replied to him asking for more clarification about the 5G towers pending in our neighborhood and throughout our larger Hamilton County community but have not heard back.
I am forwarding the email to all residents in order for each of you to respond to him with your input. Within this email is a link to a map showing the location of towers installed and towers pending installation. He also has a link to an opportunity for you to send your input on this project. This email notes there is a meeting on this Friday November 13 between 10 am and 3 pm. I had asked for a more succinct timeline on this meeting but also have not heard back.
We encourage all residents to voice any concerns or questions they may have on this project. Please reference the map and the input link to let Fishers and Verizon know how you feel.
We apologize that we did not get any clarification earlier on these matters and and want to make sure each of you have the best opportunity to let your voices be heard.
Sincerely,
John Riggio
President Lantern Farms Property Owners Board

Subject: Lantern Farms
Good morning Lantern Farms,
The residents in your community will be receiving letters in the coming days. The letter will instruct the residents to work with their property management companies or HOA Boards to identify alternative areas to locate 5G poles. The City has started a new process for the Verizon 5G location approval. We are determined to meet with all HOA and property management groups in the coming weeks. In an effort to mutually agree on the placement of the 5G structures, we want to have a conversation about City recommendations, Verizon’s requirements and expectations from you and the people in your community. We hope that this process will be more collaborative and transparent as we work through selecting a location for this new infrastructure. Due to Federal and State law, the City of Fishers has limited ability to prevent or regulate the application or the placement of any 5G structure.
Lantern Farms has at least one structure pending approval. The City would like for you to build a list of recommendations. This list will be reviewed alongside all public comments received for this neighborhood. The goal is to have a meeting with your neighborhood representatives, Verizon Wireless and the City of Fishers. By the end of the meeting we hope to solidify the location of the structure. I would strongly urge you to follow-up with impacted property owners to capture their concerns and thoughts, if you have not done so already. Feel free to use the tool below to capture feedback.
Would your team be available to meet on 11/6 or 11/13 between 10AM and 3PM?
Please share recommendations with me as soon as possible. I will schedule a virtual meeting soon after. Please provide additional contacts as needed. Let me know if you have any questions.
