andy@denpubs.com R AY B R O O K — T h e Adirondack Park Agency Board of Commissioners began its look at the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort Nov. 17 and 18 at APA Headquarters in preparation for making a decision on the project in January. The APA Board will take most of its meeting time in November, December and January to deliberate on the resort’s permit (2005-100, Preserve Associates, LLC). The project, located around the Big Tupper Ski Area in the town of Tupper Lake, is the largest development proposed in the Adirondack Park’s history and could be used as a precedent for future development. Commissioner Leilani Crafts Ulrich, of Old Forge, began her first meeting as chairwoman on Nov. 17. She was appointed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Nov. 9 to replace Curt Stiles, who retired as commissioner and chairman during the summer. CONTINUED ON PAGE 16
