Duke seeks a higher new communications tower

Duke Energy seeks a special exception to construct a new communications tower 60 feet higher than Oconee County rules.  At 7805 Rochester Highway, SC 130, Duke will ask the county board of zoning appeals for the exception during a 6 o’clock meeting Monday night at the county’s administrative offices in Walhalla.  Under Oconee rules, there is a 250-foot height limit on communication towers.
