SCHUMER REVEALS VERIZON BREAKTHROUGH: UTICA & NEW HARTFORD ARE NOW IN CONTACT WITH COMPANY & A PLAN TO CONSTRUCT A NEW CELL TOWER IS IN THE WORKS; SENATOR SAYS "DEAD ZONE' HAS PLAGUED RESIDENTS & BUSINESSES FOR YEARS, AND HE IS WATCHING LIKE A HAWK TO GET PROGRESS

Press Release

"After meeting with South Uticans and New Hartford residents at their wit's end with a cell phone dead zone that's seemingly unfixable, I turned up the volume on Verizon in hopes that they would get the message and fix this longstanding issue. I am proud to say: Verizon heard me loud and clear and is already taking action to investigate the problem, meet with local officials, and develop a plan to generate a solution. Plans are in place to build a new cell tower to bring high-quality mobile service to Utica and New Hartford, and I will not stop fighting until this dead zone is fixed for our local residents, Ridgewood business owners and first responders once and for all."
