Swift High Speed has plans to put up a communications tower near Grunthal.

Hanover Reeve Stan Toews says council has given the go-ahead to construct a 120-foot freestanding communications tower on a parcel northeast of Grunthal.

The tower will be used to provide high-speed Internet services to an area of about eight miles. It will go up at 78 Delwood Drive and be located more than 300 feet from the nearest property boundary.

There were no concerns presented to council from the public.

Hanover council was unanimous in approving this application.
