Idaho County Has ‘No Objection’ to Residents’ Motion to Intervene in AT&T Tower Dispute

Defendant Kootenai County, Idaho, “has no objection” to the motion of about 255 residents to intervene in the county’s cell tower fight with AT&T, said the county’s response Thursday (docket 2:23-cv-00124) in U.S. District Court for Idaho. The residents argued they can’t rely on the county to protect their interests in AT&T’s dispute with the municipality over the cell tower (see 2306300047). AT&T’s March 29 complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief based on the county’s denial of its application for a conditional use permit to build the 150-foot lattice tower in the northwest corner of the state near the Washington border (see 2303300046).
