Can this Adirondack Park Agency board handle the Adirondack Club and Resort decision?July 26th, 2011 by Brian Mann
(Departing APA chairman Curt) Stiles shocked the Adirondacks earlier this month when he abruptly announced that he won't stay on for another term. His departure is very nearly immediate, as he'll be stepping aside before the next meeting in August in Ray Brook.
All of which raises troubling concerns about the APA's ability to fairly and thoroughly adjudicate the Adirondack Club and Resort project proposed for Tupper Lake.
The resort's developers want to build hundreds of condos and mansions, as well as a modern state of the art marina, ski resort, equestrian center, and more.
The public hearings which just wrapped up cap a review process that has gone on for years, with mountains of information and context and citizen involvement all thrown into the mix.
This is quite possibly the biggest, most controversial single decision the APA will make in its first half-century.
Now, it appears that the Agency will make the final call led by an interim chairman, or by someone new to the post hastily appointed by Governor Andrew Cuomo and confirmed by the state Senate.
