Narrative:
The final approach to runway 32 has a radio tower; FAA registration number #1048341. This airport was little used in the past; but currently is growing and expanding its operations. Hangars are under construction and 8 are pre-leased with 5 aircraft tied out. I believe this tower to be a hazard to aircraft navigation; considering its extreme proximity to the final approach of runway 32.
