2007 Program Highlights
Regions and Subregions
The Adirondack North Country is a series of subregions (e.g. Adirondack Park, Tug Hill, Lake Champlain and the Lake Champlain Basin, St. Lawrence, Upper Hudson and Mohawk River valleys) and larger regions (e.g. Northern Forest, Great Lakes). ANCA works to collaborate both within the region and to a limited extent beyond the region to increase ANCA’s success and to leverage additional resources for our economy and people. Highlights of ANCA’s 2007 work are as follows:
- Staff attended a Northern Forest Center planning meeting in Tupper Lake on February 16 to discuss New York’s involvement in the regional economic development strategy project. Staff attended a June 8 meeting in Tupper Lake, a June 25-26 session of the Steering Committee in Bethel, Maine, and an October 22-23 session in Lake Placid.
- Staff attended the May 17 evening reception of the Northern Forest Center and toured the Ways of the Woods exhibit in Old Forge.
- ANCA staff continued their participation as a member of the Steering Committee in the development of the Northern Forest Center’s Economic Development Administration Project (EDA). The project will benefit from $800K in EDA funding toward an economic development strategy to address community and economic development needs and environmental quality in the Northern Forest states of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
- Staff provided commentary on the Northern Border Development Commission during the New York Washington Day and followed with commentary to Congressman McHugh and Senator Schumer’s staff.
- Staff attended the Northern Forest Center Steering Committee meeting on June 25/26 in Bethel Maine. The next session of the four-state Steering Committee is scheduled for October 22/23 in Lake Placid.
- On November 26 ANCA staff provided regional contacts for the Northeast Can-Am Study—an east-west transportation strategy to facilitate trade and economic development being prepared by the Maine Department of Transportation.
