FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) The New York Jets’ plan for a helicopter landing pad at their New Jersey training facility is drawing objections from some who question the need since an airport is just a couple of miles away.

NJ.com (http://bit.ly/2tGs67O ) reports that the borough of Madison has lodged objections to the Jets’ application, which was filed in March. The borough says that there’s ”no demand” for a helipad so close to the Morristown Airport and that it could be a safety risk.

An attempt to build a helipad in 2013 was stalled when some community members objected.
