The old tower structure was removed and replaced with a new tower a few hundred yards away. New hard line and a new antenna was also installed. The antenna, at nearly 300 feet above ground, provides remarkable coverage. The radio equipment and components are owned by Sumter County Emergency Management. The tower is owned by SECO.
