Nebraska Public Service Commission Approves Support for Cell Tower Construction

The Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC) approved nearly $3.5 million in funding for the construction of six cellular towers through the Nebraska Universal Service Fund (NUSF) Dedicated Wireless Fund Program. U.S. Cellular Corporation will receive $3,463,850 in grant funding support to build six tower sites near the communities of Beaver Crossing, Beemer, Memphis, Monroe, Naponee, and Nehawka. U.S. Cellular has committed to completing construction of the towers within 24 months of approval of the funding. The PSC allocated six million dollars in Wireless Fund Program Support for the 2023 funding year. The remaining dedicated support allocated but not awarded will be rolled into the next wireless fund grant cycle.
