Want to Attach to Our Poles? We Can Help.

We allow cable TV, telephone and communications attachments, that follow Michigan Public Safety Commission (MPSC) regulations.

We also allow attachments by local governments that follow ordinances and right-of-way agreements. Private attachments are not allowed. Federal and State regulations require that space be provided for communication lines.
