Glad to hear that your personally controlled project might have some continuity, Ben! You could get that support for other sites by teamwork with the other HAM repeater groups in town. Honeywell and 3M have or had groups and sites, and some of the independent HAM clubs do also. They also have continuity and might have good depth in experience. A HAM group in Burnsville has had a water tower site for the last fifteen years or so. Let us know when/if/how TCWUG has input on deals, terms, techie issues involving us, or our usage. Meanwhile, it's off topic for TCWUG isn't it?
