PLANT CITY The nation's largest wireless provider last week activated a new cell site in the Plant City area.

The site, located near railroad tracks on Turkey Creek Road, will improve AT&T's coverage south of State Road 60 along Turkey Creek Road, County Road 39 and in the surrounding areas, including Medard Park and Durant High School. The new equipment was placed on a monopole, about 160 feet in height. Other carriers already had equipment on the site, a spokeswoman said.

The new Plant City cell site is one of dozens being added throughout the state this year as part of AT&T's four-year planned expenditure of nearly $1 billion in its Florida wireless network.

"Our ongoing investment in Florida continues to increase coverage, ensure high levels of reliability and offer advanced services for our customers," Marshall Criser III, president of AT&T Florida, said in a statement.
