phone tower in northwest Springfield is suing the city for denying the project.The Springfield News-Leader reports that BRT Group filed a federal lawsuit against Springfield earlier this month. The company was hired by T-Mobile to build the tower.
BRT says in its lawsuit that city officials considered issues they shouldn’t have and failed to provide a written explanation for the denial.
When the city council discussed the proposal in January, council members who opposed it questioned the need for a new tower two blocks away from an existing one. But a Missouri law passed in 2014 limits what local officials can consider.
