A proposed cell tower is causing concerns among Diamond Valley town council. OkotoksOnline

An application for a cell tower in Diamond Valley is causing some concerns in town, including among council members.

If approved, the 35-metre-tall tower would be erected in the Turner Valley Post Office lot, with its location being where a majority of those concerns lie.

According to the Town's website, town council's "strong" opposition to the location owes to concerns with the tower's effect on the area's appearance, tourism, local business, and the environment.

Town council won't be the body to make the final call on the proposal; that decision will be left to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED).

The Town is inviting locals to provide feedback, though.

Any feedback objections must be submitted to both ISED and the applicant, Shared Tower Inc.

The deadline to submit feedback is April 5.
