Communities

The Adirondack Park is a global model of how public and private lands can sustainably coexist in environmental and economic harmony, with eco-friendly, resource-based local economies and vibrant communities in a park-like setting.

Supporting a better, more resilient, sustainable Adirondack Park, including vibrant local communities. Goals include:

  • Support science-based improvements at the Adirondack Park Agency, including smart conservation design.
  • Expand mutual respect and collaboration with local communities through state support for village and hamlet smart growth planning.
  • Increase the number of municipalities in the Park coordinating project review with the Adirondack Park Agency while maintaining resource protection.
