OCNJ for Responsible Cell Tower Placement

09/23/2026

🚨 DON’T BUILD FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER.

If HHS is reviewing the science, why are we still rushing to build more cell towers?

The federal government is now seeking evidence on the potential health effects of EMF, RF, and wireless radiation exposure.

Pause new tower approvals until this review is complete!

We can have reliable wireless service without rushing permanent infrastructure into residential neighborhoods.

Wireless technology is everywhere. Our research needs to keep up.

HHS is taking a closer look at what that exposure could mean for our health, and asking Americans, scientists, physicians, industry, and public health experts to submit evidence and information on potential health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless radiation exposure.

We have not yet identified another 125-foot cell tower situated in a comparable residential barrier-island neighborhood anywhere along the ENTIRE New Jersey Shore.

If one exists, show us.

So why should Ocean City be the FIRST?

🚨 EVERY JERSEY SHORE COMMUNITY SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION.

What is happening in Spring Lake could have implications far beyond one town.

At issue is an important question: Do New Jersey’s coastal environmental protections apply when telecommunications companies seek to place infrastructure along our shoreline?

Our beaches, wildlife, public spaces, neighborhoods and coastal environment deserve meaningful review BEFORE permanent telecommunications infrastructure is installed — not after.

For those of us fighting inappropriate cell tower placement in Ocean City, this is especially important to watch. Decisions made in one shore community can help influence how similar projects are reviewed and challenged throughout New Jersey.

⚠️ Spring Lake’s fight could help shape what happens next in communities up and down the Jersey Shore.

Please share. New Jersey deserve to know what is happening.

We’re so grateful to everyone who has signed, shared, donated, attended meetings, put up signs, and helped spread the word.

More than 1,300 people have now stood with Ocean City residents and said that a 125-foot cell tower does not belong this close to homes in a residential neighborhood.

But we’re not done yet.

🎯 Our next goal: 1,500 signatures.

If you haven’t signed yet, please add your name. If you already have, please share the petition with friends, neighbors, and anyone who cares about protecting Ocean City neighborhoods.
