Saranac Lake Whitewater Park

In case you haven't heard about it, this event looks like a lot of fun!

We are incredibly excited to announce that we were one of the projects chosen for the NYS DRI grant and will receive $411,000 to build our whitewater park in Saranac Lake! Thank you so much to our community members and leaders as well as the governor and his task force for their tireless work, support, and generosity with this project. And a huge congratulations to the other projects that also received funding. It's an exciting time for Saranac Lake and we're honored to be a part of it!

Hello everyone! We need your help for the Saranac Lake Whitewater Park! The public input meeting that we're about to post about is the LAST meeting the town is going to hold before submitting their final recommendations to the state of New York. This is your LAST opportunity to voice your support for the whitewater park before this happens! We appreciate all of your comments and feedback previously, and GREATLY appreciate any additional support you can provide tomorrow nigh...t. The reason this is important is because one of the largest determining factors for this project getting approved is the degree of public support shown. We've already collected over 100 letters of support for the whitewater park, and have left numerous comments electronically and in person for this goal. Public comments in person are JUST as important, if not more important. I'm hoping this is the last time we ask you all to show up to a public meeting and voice your support for a long while. We've been told that this is indeed the last hurrah before we play the waiting game with the state. If we win that waiting game, what's at stake is $400,000 which will completely fund the project. So once again, we'll ask that whoever can attend tomorrow night and voice their support, please do so! LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!
