The Queen Creek Planning & Zoning Commission recently approved the construction of a new wireless communication facility, a decision that aims to enhance connectivity for residents in the area. The approval, which passed unanimously, allows Tilson Infrastructure to lease space for the facility, which will serve major carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.

During the meeting, it was clarified that Tilson will manage the lease agreements, making it easier for multiple carriers to utilize the facility. This approach is expected to improve service availability and competition among providers, ultimately benefiting local residents who rely on reliable mobile connectivity.

The discussion highlighted the current industry trend where major carriers contract third parties to build and manage infrastructure, a shift that could lead to better service options for Queen Creek residents. While specific revenue figures from these leases were not disclosed, the potential for increased service quality and competition was emphasized as a significant benefit for the community.

The meeting also included an opportunity for public comments, although no residents chose to speak on the matter. With the motion to approve the facility passing smoothly, the Commission is now set to move forward with the next agenda items, continuing its work to address community needs and enhance local infrastructure.
