The TRWC agencies along with public safety personnel and regional dignitaries gathered April 23, 2024 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony dedicating the first new TRWC public safety radio tower in more than 20 years. The new tower, known as H60 (for Highway 60), will improve the coverage area for public safety radios, especially for northeast Mesa, Apache Junction and Queen Creek.
The new tower is part of a multi-year improvement expansion plan for the public safety network. The next tower is scheduled to go online later this year in the Tonto National Forest. There are plans to build 13 towers to meet population growth and address public safety needs. Staff from Mesa’s Engineering and Communications Departments were instrumental in the radio tower’s construction.
