SALISBURY, Md. – A new Verizon communication tower on the Westside of Wicomico County is now active and providing service, marking a major improvement for an area that county officials say has struggled with weak cell coverage for years. The tower is identified as the Wicomico Cedar Hill Antenna and is intended to strengthen communication access for residents, first responders, and businesses.
County Executive Julie Giordano said the tower has been a two year priority and was pursued to address public safety and communication concerns in communities on the Westside. “Reliable communication isn’t a luxury, it’s a public safety necessity,” Giordano said. She noted that stronger coverage is expected to improve emergency response capabilities and everyday connectivity for people living and working in the area. The county thanked Verizon along with participating departments and partner groups involved in completing the project. Officials say the tower is fully online and serving the coverage zone.
Anyone seeking additional information may contact the Wicomico County Executive’s Office at 410-548-4801.
