- Cell tower battle may save a park, but possibly at the cost of taxpayers
Residents of Mendota Heights are opposing a proposal to install a cell tower in Wentworth Park's wooded 'stick park' area. The revised plan involves a 149-foot tower disguised as a pine tree, which violates grant restrictions and faces city denial due to funding constraints. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is investigating potential compliance issues.
