With the Adirondack Trail and Olympic Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan projects wrapping up, ANCA is ready to begin work on its next CMP project for the official State Byway extending from Rome to Glens Falls along New York State Routes 365, 12/28, 28, 30 and 9. The Central Adirondack Trail project was launched with a direct mailing and distribution of media announcements requesting proposals for project facilitators. ANCA created a contact list of 18 organizations and companies who might want to participate in this planning initiative. The response yielded a pool of seven who submitted applications and budgets for consideration. The candidates’ proposals will be reviewed by three ANCA Board Directors including ANCA President, Ron Ofner. ANCA’s Executive Director, Terry Martino and Scenic Byway Coordinator, Sharon O’Brien will also participate in the selection of project facilitators who will provide coverage of the entire Byway route through Oneida, Herkimer, Hamilton and Warren Counties. The facilitators will be responsible for overseeing local planning discussions and will work directly with communities to develop local visions, goals, and other required CMP components. They will work with ANCA and the Central Adirondack Trail Scenic Byway Regional Steering Committee to prepare the local plans and give input for the regional component. Regional leaders including county planners, tourism organizations, Chambers of Commerce along with other representatives will be invited to serve on the Steering Committee. The Central Adirondack Trail CMP effort is set to begin in summer of 2004 and is expected to take about one and a half years to complete. Senators Little, Meier, and Seward along with Assembly representatives Butler, Destito, Townsend, and Sayward have been notified of the upcoming community and economic development planning opportunities about to take place in their local districts. |
