AT&T, Mass. Town Reach Amended Settlement of Their Dispute

AT&T reached an amended agreement with the town of Heath, Massachusetts, regarding an October 2021 complaint arising out of Heath’s denial of AT&T’s application for a special permit and associated zoning relief to allow construction and installation of a wireless telecommunications facility, said a text of the agreement for judgment filed Wednesday (docket 3:21-cv-30106) in U.S. District Court for Massachusetts. The parties nearly a year ago had reached a settlement agreement, but the court denied it on grounds that they failed to provide any evidentiary basis on which to evaluate the merits of the resolution. The parties believe the amended agreement “to be in their respective best interests and a fair and reasonable resolution of the pending civil action,” said Wednesday’s filing.
