NCCC moving forward on new Ti campus RFPs sought for school of applied tech
Immanual Davis returns home to perform » pg. 4

TICONDEROGA | North Country Community College is moving ahead to make the School of Applied Technology a reality. The college has announced they are seeking Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for the establishment of a technical/vocational education program in Ticonderoga. The estimated start-up cost is $4.8 million. Members of the board of trustees, along with President Steve Tyrell and Donna Wotton of the Ti-Alliance, have held a number of meetings over the past month, including with Saranac Lake residents and Essex County lawmakers, where they presented their proposals for a technical school earlier this spring. “This is the kind of news I have been waiting to hear about,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava at that time. » NCCC Cont. on pg. 5

Survey reveals High Peaks parking lots ‘routinely’ above capacity DEC to weigh public comment this week
a tourism destination, capacity is being exceeded by as four times as many vehicles much at some locations, the report revealed.
By Pete DeMola
Hotspots include Cascade Mountain and Adirondak Loj and South Meadows Road, as well as parking lots at Hurricane Mountain, Ampersand Mountain, Elk Lake and Route 9N and Elizabethtown and Keene. Keene Valley trailheads contain a total of 353 parking spots, but had as many as 721 cars during a recent visit, according to the report. And 35 parking lots designed to accommodate fewer than 1,000 cars frequently had more than 2,100 cars trying to park at them. As a result, over 1,000 vehicles were repeatedly parked along roads, on private property, and in other unsafe locations.
