Cell Towers on North Shore

Tuesday night's meeting of Community Board 1 (which represents the North Shore of SI) was dominated by discussion of the proposed radio tower planned to be erected at the end of Richmond Avenue.

The majority of the speakers at the meeting were concerned citizens who were dead set against the building of the tower. Most of the concerns were due to safety from the radio waves.

There was some greasy-looking lawyer from the military contractor Northrup Grumman, which put up a red flag for me right away. (What's a war profiteering company doing on Staten Island anyway?)

I'm not sure where the SI Advance is on this one. I know they had a reporter at the meeting but I haven't seen any coverage of yet.
