New Cell Tower Approved Near Fort Ouiatenon to Improve Festival Coverage
Rezoning Approved for River Road Site
The Tippecanoe County Commissioners have officially approved the rezoning of two acres on River Road near historic Fort Ouiatenon. This decision, passed unanimously with a 3–0 vote, clears the way for the construction of a new cell phone tower that will directly address long-standing connectivity issues in the area.
Solving Signal Problems at Popular Events
If you’ve ever attended the Feast of the Hunter’s Moon, you know how frustrating it can be to find reliable cell service during the event. With thousands of attendees, existing coverage becomes nearly nonexistent. The new cell tower is expected to dramatically improve reception, not only during major festivals, but also for residents and visitors year-round.
Concerns About Parking and Traffic
Some community members raised questions about how the tower might affect parking, especially during the annual Feast and other events at Fort Ouiatenon. However, local experts recommend a tried-and-true festival strategy: park at Purdue University and ride the shuttle bus. This approach helps attendees avoid getting stuck in traffic on roads not designed for heavy event volume while ensuring an easier arrival and departure.
Timeline for Tower Construction
While there is no confirmed completion date, local officials believe the build-out could happen quickly. It’s unlikely the tower will be operational in time for this year’s Feast of the Hunter’s Moon, but there is optimism it will be ready well before the 2026 celebration. Once complete, this infrastructure upgrade will provide a much-needed boost in communication capabilities for the Greater Lafayette area.
