Jay Town Board Opposes Proposed Artillery Testing Site in Lewis, NY
DEFENSE
The Jay Town Board has unanimously passed a resolution opposing a proposed artillery testing site in Lewis, NY, scheduled for an Adirondack Park Agency hearing on February 4. The site, intended for internal ballistics testing by the U.S. military, would involve up to 30 annual firings, raising public concerns about noise and potential impacts on wildlife, which the proposing firm, Unconventional Concepts, asserts would be minimal. The resolution reflects the strong opposition from local residents.
