A 17-Story Cellular Tower
In Our Backyards.
And They're Not Telling Us.
A 184-foot commercial cell tower is going up on New York State Thruway Authority land — deceptively bypassing local community consent.

The Eyesore and Aviation Risk Are Only Scratching the Surface.
An barely-authorized 184-foot unlit tower 1k ft. due south of a landing corridor isn't even the worst of it — here's what else is in store for our community if we don't demand this thing comes down...
Okay, Seriously
Liverpool Already Has Full 5G Coverage. So Who (or What) Is This Tower For?
They'll tell you it's for "better connectivity" and "smart highways." Yeah. Okay. Every major carrier already blankets Liverpool with 5G Ultra Wideband as of February, 2026, before the tower has been completed.
Full 5G coverage from T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. Already. Right now. Without this tower. So who the hell is it for?
But here's what they will claim it's for: to make the highways "smart."
Smart highways. Smart infrastructure. Smart cities. Every time they say "smart," what they mean is connected — connected to sensors, cameras, and tracking systems that monitor every vehicle, every mile, every minute of every day.
Ask yourself: Do you really want to be tracked every mile you drive on the highway or Electronics Parkway?
Your Location
Tracked in real-time via cell tower triangulation — no GPS needed
Your Speed
Monitored continuously — automated enforcement is one firmware update away
Your Patterns
Where you go, when, how often. Stored indefinitely. Sold to the highest bidder.
This isn't innovation. This is infrastructure for surveillance — disguised as a cell tower, planted on state land where no one can object, and built without a single public hearing.

Who Is Doing This?
Three parties made this happen. None of them asked your permission.
The Corporation
Phoenix Tower International
Filed by Mitchell Henry — 999 Yamato Road, Suite 100, Boca Raton, FL.
His own LinkedIn lists his interests as: IoT • Cloud Solutions • AI • 5G Wireless • "Rural Broadband." Not "better cell service for Liverpool."
- Received FCC registration in February 2023 — sat on it for over a year, then started building without notifying a single resident.
- Filed FAA Form 7460-1 claiming "No Hazard" — for a 184-foot unlit tower 0.25 miles from an active landing corridor.
- Deliberately chose NYSTA land to bypass all local zoning, permitting, and environmental review.
The Landlord
New York State Thruway Authority
State agency that leased the land — collecting revenue while your community bears all the cost.
- Leased state-owned land to a private corporation — the Town of Salina gets zero tax revenue from the tower.
- State land is exempt from local zoning — this is the loophole that made it all possible.
- No environmental review required. No public hearing required. No notification required. By design.
The Complicit
Local Officials Who Stayed Silent
The Town of Salina and Onondaga County officials who were either not informed — or chose not to inform you.
- Town Supervisor Raul Huerta — head of the Town of Salina. Either knew about the tower and said nothing, or failed in the basic duty to know what's being built in his own town.
- Onondaga County Legislator David Carnie (Ward 4) — sits on both the Town Board AND the County Legislature. Double the access, double the silence.
- Jeremiah Thompson (Onondaga County 4th District) — chairs the Village of Liverpool Zoning Board of Appeals. Elected November 2025 — the person best positioned to flag this now.
No Public Vote. No Public Notice.
Your silence is the consent they want.
Not a single resident, homeowner, school board, or elected official in Liverpool was consulted, polled, notified, or given any opportunity to weigh in. This isn't democracy. This is a transaction—and your community is the product.
You pay some of the highest taxes in the entire country to live in New York State — only for that same state to cut backdoor deals on your land, with your tax dollars, that will tank your property value and put your family's health at risk.
The state that takes more from you than almost any other didn't just fail to protect you — they actively helped a private corporation profit at your expense.
We're Not Alone
Communities across New York State and the country have been fighting back for years against towers just like this one.

A PSA for Those Wondering...
This is NOT About Picking a Side.
A private corporation is building a 184-foot industrial structure in your neighborhood — and not a single one of us was asked.
This is where real unity happens. Not a debate — it's self-evident.
Ever wonder why we're always fighting each other instead of the people making the decisions? Funny how the more divided we get, the faster the infrastructure goes up. Almost like that's the point.
- •A bald eagle nesting zone 1.7 miles away — no environmental review
- •A private corporation profiting off public Thruway land
- •Zero community consent — no hearing, no vote, no notification
- •Children absorb 10× more RF radiation — and Chestnut Ridge is right there
Everyone
Nobody asked. Nobody voted. Nobody was notified. That's not government — that's occupation.
- •Government making backroom deals — no elected official was consulted
- •Your home value tanks up to 20% the day this thing goes up
- •Your tax dollars funding a surveillance backbone you never approved
- •4th Amendment? They don't need a warrant to track your car. It's already happening.
This Stops When We Stop It.
They're bypassing every process designed to protect you. The only way to fight back is with our voices—loudly, together, and on the record.
