June 2012 - Hilton’s Mike McHenry, Superintendent of Public Works, and Mike Lissow, Code Enforcement Officer and Building Inspector, observe the completion of the installation of a new radio tower and supporting building just north of the water tower. According to Tom Ballatta, Project Engineer, Harris RF, the radio tower is 180 feet high and went up in three sections, taking about two and one-half hours to erect.

The support building will house radio equipment. Above, the radio equipment building is hoisted into position to be placed on the pre-installed foundation. The tower was expected to be partially operational by January 1, 2013 and usable by the Water Authority, Water Equipment and public works.

Eventually it was to be used by fire, police and ambulance operators, enhancing the communication systems and improving safety. This was the last of the 17 large towers to be installed in Monroe County. Photo by Walter Horylev.
