Panel discusses economic future of people in the park keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Members of the media, the economic development community and environmental organizations sat in front of a lean-to at the Northwoods Inn Wednesday, Oct. 5 to talk about the future of the Adirondack Park.
The event was the second of a pair of “discussions” based on a recent Adirondack Life article written by North Country Public Radio reporter Brian Mann on the current state of the Adirondack Park and what he felt needed to be done to help it prosper. Mann was joined at the Northwoods Inn by Jim LaValley of Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving Their Economy (ARISE) in

Mann said. “There are a lot of controversial and argumentative points along the road. We have the resources and potential here to succeed, so the optimism that I have heard is well-placed.” Mann said that with many jobs within the park are public jobs, which is the main concern for the future of the area. “The version of the Adirondack CONTINUED ON PAGE 9
