YUCAIPA - Lazer Broadcasting Corporation will appear before the San Bernardino County Planning Commission tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. seeking approval to build an 80-foot tall communications tower in Wildwood Canyon State Park.

Community groups including the Friends of the Wildwood Canyon State Park and Yucaipa Equestrian Arena Committee have joined with the Citizens for Preservation of Rural Living (CPRL) to protest the project. Local volunteers have been circulating a petition and have over 1,000 signatures opposing the tower.

Support to stop the tower has also been generated at local car shows and horse competitions. And the CPRL websites www.stopthetowernow.org and www.myspace.com/stopthetowernow have also seen much activity and support.

The Planning Commission meeting will be in the Board Chambers of the San Bernardino County Government Center, located at 385 N. Arrowhead Ave. in San Bernardino.

Several representatives from Friends of the Wildwood Canyon State Park, Yucaipa Equestrian Arena Committee, and CPRL will speak against the project, but more concerned citizens are encouraged to attend.
