Cell tower going up 63rd St. and Mission Rd. fire station

The cell phone tower approved unanimously by the Prairie Village city council this June is currently under construction on the grounds of the Johnson County Fire Department station at 63rd Street and Mission Road, just north of Indian Hills Middle School.
