Action Alert Deadline Thursday 5/7/26 - Email Campaign Ends Today At 4 PM For the Dog Bar Rd Verizon Cell Tower Fight
WE NEED YOUR IMMEDIATE HELP.
The deadline to OPPOSE Verizon’s NEW application for the SAME site at 20896 Dog Bar Road, Grass Valley is TODAY!
The Board of Supervisors upheld the appeal against this tower, so Verizon sued the county. Resident Kristen Phalen intervened in the Federal suit with the best attorneys to defend the residents' position. They are currently in high-level, federal mediation with Verizon and the County, and Verizon stepped out in BAD FAITH resubmitting the SAME application for the site they are currently litigating!
This is CORRUPT and UNACCEPTABLE! WE MUST EMAIL THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT BY 4 PM TODAY, THURSDAY 05/07/26!
PLEASE EMAIL Brian Foss at planning@nevadacountyca.gov AND David Nicholas at David.nicholas@nevadacountyca.gov and DEMAND they REJECT this redundant application.
Example Comment: I am asking you to DENY Verizon’s new application (PLN 26-0059, CUP26-0004) for the SAME site on Dog Bar Road that they are in federal litigation over with the county and the residents in District 2. They stepped out in BAD FAITH when they submitted this application. A resolution was on the horizon, and what they are doing is corrupt and unacceptable. Please stand with the residents and deny this application!
THANK YOU!

Despite comprehensive legal and technical guidance, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors passed a Communications Facilities Ordinance on April 14th that deliberately waived protections they had every legal right to enforce. What it means for your community and what you can do: NEW BLOG
