Jay Town Board Opposes Proposed Artillery Testing Site in Lewis, NY
DEFENSE
The Jay Town Board passed a resolution opposing a proposed artillery testing site in Lewis, NY, set for an Adirondack Park Agency hearing on February 4. The site would conduct internal ballistics testing for the U.S. military, with up to 30 firings annually.
Public concerns were raised about noise and wildlife effects, which the proposing firm, Unconventional Concepts, claimed would be minimal. The board's resolution reflects the opposition of local residents.
