Existing Property The tower facility is located at 6140 US 209, Kerhonkson, NY 12404 (Tax ID 76.1-2-17). The current property is characterized as mining land with undeveloped woodland. However, there is an existing 150 foot tall monopole tower owned by American Tower Corporation (ATC). There is an existing solar field southwest of the existing tower compound.
