Met tower · 2026

Barre, NY · near Pine Hill (2.9 mi)
What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"A meteorological tower to assess wind resource. Will be painted alternating bands of orange and white anchor guards on guy sleeves and marker balls 1/3 of the way down and 1/2 up"
