AT&T has given up its fight with city hall.

St. Joseph city officials report AT&T has withdrawn its lawsuit against the city council decision to deny it a permit to build a telecommunications tower at 3802 Karnes Road, a proposal that drew widespread opposition from homeowners in the residential neighborhood.

AT&T has withdrawn lawsuits filed in federal court and, instead, has proposed erecting a tower at 3914 Karnes Road instead. The new proposed location is adjacent to the water tower on which AT&T has an existing tower.

The new application remains subject to St. Joseph City Council approval.
