Bayonne Super Tower Project Held Up

On hold at present are plans for that big new tower to serve TV stations in the New York City area from nearby Bayonne, N.J.
The Star-Ledger newspaper reports that the alliance of TV stations asked the FAA to at least temporarily suspend its review of the 2,000-foot project’s viability.
“The Metropolitan Television Alliance, a coalition of 11 stations, made its decision after receiving a ‘negative’ review of the plans from the section of the FAA responsible for takeoffs and landings from airports in the New York metropolitan area,” the paper quoted a spokesman for the alliance as saying.
The paper said the project’s fate is not yet decided.
