RIDGWAY — An emergency communications tower at the center of a property rights dispute is complicating Elk County’s public safety planning as a key federal funding deadline looms.

At dispute is a 106-foot tall temporary 911 tower owned and operated by the county. While it’s located on the property of Wilcox resident Michael Anderson, the roads that access the tower were blocked off by two gates placed by his neighbors, Terry and Tammy Brawand.
