Telecommunications Master Plan
What is the Telecommunications Master Plan
Nassau County has hired the consultants, CityScape Consultants, Inc. to create a Wireless Telecommunications Master Plan for Nassau County.
The Telecommunications Master Plan is a County-wide (including municipalities) Plan that identifies and assesses existing wireless communication facilities, determines gaps in existing coverage and provides recommendations for design and siting of future facilities. The analysis will facilitate the development of a wireless telecommunications network that is efficient and will meet the future needs of Nassau County. The purpose of the plan is to provide adequate network service while minimizing visual impacts of the telecommunications infrastructure and maintaining the aesthetics of the community. The plan will also serve as a guide for developing planning policies for future wireless infrastructure that is compliant with state and federal regulations.

The Ordinance was heard by the Nassau County Board of County Commissioners on March 11, 2019 and the final public hearing for adoption was March 25, 2019. The final approved ordinance is available here.
