Default Village church steeple to hide cell tower

ITASCA, Ill. (UPI) -- A church in a village west of Chicago has found a new source of income by offering to hide a cell phone transmission tower in its 100-year-old steeple.

Last month, the planning council of Itasca voted to allow T-Mobile to erect a tower in the village as long as it didn't look like a tower. The phone company realized calls were being dropped right in the vicinity of the church and decided to ask Itasca Baptist Church Pastor Charles Gateley about a deal.

Gateley told the Chicago Tribune there is no down side to the 25-year leasing agreement, which will pay the church $1,700 per month.

T-Mobile said its equipment can be modified to fit into the steeple, which is the highest structure in the village, the report said.

The village council is expected to approve the deal on Nov. 14, the Tribune said.

What a great idea! And the money will keep the church going - both parties benefit.
