Your Call Script
Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm a resident of Liverpool, New York, zip code [YOUR ZIP]. I'm calling to express my strong opposition to the 184-foot commercial cell tower that is being erected on New York State Thruway Authority land in our residential neighborhood—without any local zoning review, environmental assessment, or notification to affected residents. I'm asking you to: 1. Investigate how this project is bypassing all local oversight by using state-owned land 2. Support legislation to close this loophole so it can't happen in other communities 3. Push for a full environmental and structural review of this tower 4. Ensure that community input is required for any future builds on state land in residential areas This affects hundreds of families and sets a dangerous precedent for all of New York. Thank you for your time.
Start Local. The Town of Salina Has 33,000 Residents.
Even though they are bypassing our community by building on state land, the fight starts here. Your Town Board members are the closest elected officials to this issue. When 33,000 residents start calling, emailing, and showing up — that pressure rolls uphill fast.

That's a direct quote from the federal filing. A 184-foot industrial structure going up 3 miles from Syracuse Hancock International Airport — with zero obstruction lighting. Because at 184 feet, they don't have to. By design.

FCC Construction Reminder
Over a year later, the FCC sent this: “We have no record that construction or alteration has been completed or abandoned.”
View PDFWhat This Means
The FCC granted Phoenix Tower International this registration in February 2025. They sat on it for nearly a year before breaking ground in early 2026 — without notifying a single resident. As of February 18, 2026, the FCC has no record that construction has been completed.
They had federal approval in their pocket for a year, waiting for the right moment to start building. No community meeting, no public notice, no local review. By the time residents noticed a 184-foot monopole going up in their neighborhood, it was already too late to stop it. That's not oversight. That's strategy.

“You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up… those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one. And if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life.”
