New York, Northway I-87 – A fourth new Verizon Wireless cellular-phone tower for the Northway was approved Thursday by the Adirondack Park Agency.

The proposed 94-foot structure would be built at Schroon Falls on private land owned by Daniel Hay near where Route 9 crosses the Schroon River.
Disguised to look like a white-pine tree, the tower at this location will bring Verizon cell-phone coverage between exits 28 and 29, around Schroon and North Hudson — the southern reaches of the 47-mile Northway dark zone.
A new Verizon tower at Exit 29 to the north was permitted in December.
And an existing Verizon antenna on the Town of Schroon water tower supports cell-phone signals south of the Schroon Falls site.
This review means roughly one-third of Verizon’s planned 11 new Northway corridor towers are approved.
