Dialing 911 for Cornville AZ!

The Verde Valley Fire District has challenged the Cornville Az community and its friends to raise monies towards the $400,000 needed to build our own communications tower where we need it and powered for our needs. To size for Cornville, population valley side 3,350. Go to link below to read the Special Session minutes about the VVFD's call that opens up this win win solution for our community.

Please help us seize this opportunity to keep communication tower control LOCAL. Commercial wireless carriers want to use our nestled valley to leap frog into the lucrative tourist markets of Sedona and Village of Oak Creek. If our tower meets our own gap coverage areas, there will be no need for corporate intervention.

Corporate-owned city-style mega towers with multiple radiation centers operating at maximum power/wattage levels have no place in small rural farming communities. We are home to one of the last pristine riparian corridors of North Central Arizona and have 21 endangered species. This wildlife has never experienced ambient levels of man-made radiation that a corporate cell tower would emit.* All of our nature, our children and the future generations who now thrive in this green belt of high desert paradise will be forever grateful for your help and support.

Your donations will be deposited in a "temporary community organization" donations account set up at Foothills Bank in Cottonwood, AZ. Cornville-CCIP has its own Tax ID. CCIP stands for "Community Communications Infrastructure Partnership." The SOLE beneficiary is the Verde Valley Fire District. All this can be easily verified by calling Foothills Bank and requesting the account manager. Denise, the organizer named on this Go Fund Me campaign, is our CCIP accountant.

Here is the excerpt from the VVFD Special Session with the ask.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

*Did you know? The FCC has never established a Radio Frequency exposure limit for safe radiation exposure for children or the environment. The safety limit still dates to 1996. Read the 2021 EHT vs FCC federal court decision directing the FCC to go back to the drawing board regarding emissions safety standards after copious evidence of biological harms in the 25 years in between.
