Announcement - Local Public Information Meeting Nov. 15 in Blue Mountain Lake

In order to implement the goals put forth by community leaders in the Central Adirondack Trail Corridor Management Plan the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) has been working to strengthen communications with the Region Two office of the NYS Department of Transportation and those stakeholders interested in the future of the corridor in their byway communities. ANCA has received word that a local public information meeting is scheduled to discuss a project proposed for Route 28 in the hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake along the Central Adirondack Trail Scenic Byway in Hamilton County.

The Corridor Management Plan stated that as new projects are undertaken along the byway we need to address the safety of all users including vehicle operators, pedestrians, and recreationalists and work to create walkable communities that are accessible and provide easy passage to encourage visitors to spend time in the towns, cities and villages all along the byway.

Central Adirondack Trail Community business owners, residents and local government officials and community planners are invited to attend the public information meeting on November 15, 2006 at the Blue Mountain Lake Firehouse from 7:00 to 8:00pm to learn about the NYS Department of Transportation Route 28 Improvement Project in the hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake.
