Emergency personnel respond to a call about a body found Tuesday at Taylor Street Plaza in DeKalb.

DeKALB – Wireless provider T-Mobile is a step closer to upgrading its communication equipment on the roof of the 16-story Taylor Street Plaza at 507 E. Taylor St. after the DeKalb Planning and Zoning Commission authorized a special use permit for the work.

The request, which will include the installation of an 11-foot antenna, was made by Amanda Wegrzyn of NTP Wireless on behalf of T-Mobile. It was approved without opposition by a 4-0 vote during the commission’s meeting Wednesday. Commissioners Matthew Crull, Deborah Nier and Katharina Barbe were absent.
