MABE Partners with Milestone

The Maryland Association of Boards of Education (MABE) is partnering with Milestone to share exciting revenue earning opportunities with Maryland's School Districts.

Milestone's wireless tower development program earns school boards recurring revenue streams. Last year, the program earned Fairfax County Public Schools over a $1 million.

"Using school assets to create revenue is a no brainer," said Doug Duncan, former County Executive for Montgomery County.

Milestone has been partnering with school districts for over ten years. It has developed over 25 stealth wireless towers.
