Mariner Tower intends to place a 150 ft. cellular tower on the Goodermote property in Cherry Plain. A number of Berlin/Cherry Plain residents currently lack cellular coverage, and the tower will provide access for most, if not all, of them.

Some residents were vehemently against the tower; others believed it would be an invaluable asset to the Town.
