Greenville County Cell Tower Rules | Greenville News

Greenville County is poised to become South Carolina’s first to regulate cell towers, requiring new ones to be at least 1,500 feet from homes and 3,000 feet from schools—and pushing for reuse of existing towers. The push stems from resident outrage after a family discovered a 5G tower near their home just weeks before selling, forcing them to slash their asking price by 15%. Councilmember Kelly Long, who introduced the ordinance, says it’s not just about property values—it’s about protecting health and community well-being. The measure still needs one final vote at the September 1 council meeting, where the fate of these rules will be decided.
