The East Hampton Town Board pledged to outraged residents that it would revisit negotiations with the owners of a Girl Scouts camp in Springs to be a possible location for a new communications tower instead of using a town-owned property on Lincoln Avenue.

Laura Bisset-Carr, the director of Camp Blue Bay, told the East Hampton Town Board on Tuesday that the Girl Scouts of Nassau County, which owns the camp, would revisit the 120-foot height limit they had placed on the allowable height of a cellular tower on their property in light of the town's need for at least 150-foot tower for it's emergency communications equipment.
