About the Central Adirondack Partnership for the 21st Century

CAP-21 was incorporated in 2001 as a regional not-for-profit organization that provides a forum for community concerns, interests and aspirations of residents in the West Central Adirondacks. CAP-21 seeks to promote vibrant and sustainable communities along the Route 28 corridor within the townships of Forestport, Inlet, Long Lake through Raquette Lake, Webb and adjacent communities. These townships cross three counties and include some of the most beautiful areas within the Park. When we refer to communities, we are always talking inclusively about our year-round and seasonal residents, as well as visitors to our region.

Mission

CAP-21 will be a leading organization to foster and support vibrant and sustainable year-round West Central Adirondack communities by planning, identifying and securing resources to promote economic development, social responsibility and commerce and nature balance. Vision

CAP-21’s vision will be accomplished by the following: ▪ Planning for the future of our communities, while preserving and protecting the beauty and benefits of our heritage and our natural resources; ▪ Facilitating open communication and increased cooperation among diverse entities within the region; ▪ Supporting the development and implementation of comprehensive master plans for each of our constituent towns and for the region; ▪ Creating partnerships that maintain and enhance economic development, stability and growth; ▪ Encouraging cooperation among the constituent towns in terms of sharing human and material resources; ▪ Leverage resources and maximize capacities of regional not-for-profits; ▪ Recruiting new board members with valuable business experience; ▪ Implementing community enhancement projects; ▪ Facilitating community education and collaboration on issues of importance; and ▪ Match community needs with available funding resources.

Executive Director’s Report for 2019

As CAP-21 completes its 18th year, we continue our positive work along our three core focus areas, all of which are part of the five-year CAP-21 Strategic Plan (2012-2016). We are continuing to update our Strategic Plan for the next five years (2019-2023). Economic Development

Strategic Plan Goals/Strategies Actions & Outcomes

1.1 Develop and implement an CAP-21 is in the process of creating a regional collaborative economic blueprint for the region committee with the intent of working with the Adirondack Park Agency to create a regional economic revitalization plan for the communities of Forestport, Webb, Inlet, Raquette Lake and Blue Mountain Lake. By creating a regional committee that would meet routinely starting after the first of the year 2020, we intend to share with the North Country Regional Economic Development Council and the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council that although we cross REDC boundaries, our communities are very much in close proximity to each other and share community characteristics and needs. We wish to include municipal town board members, business owners and other local non-profits as stakeholders in this proposed economic revitalization plan. It is our goal to create a plan that will benefit the communities of the West Central Adirondacks and create projects that will be supported by our Regional Economic Development councils and their funding opportunities along with any available federal funding.

Herkimer County, in partnership with the Community Foundation of Herkimer & Oneida Counties, is creating a Herkimer County Community Development Plan of which Town of Webb is a part of. They intend to create the plan around Economic Development/Agri Business, Tourism, Collaboration and Connectivity. CAP-21 has expressed a desire to be a part of that plan development and will work with the Town Supervisor throughout the process.

1.2 Collaborate with the Common CAP-21 participated as a partner with SUNY Environmental Ground Alliance & the Adirondack Sciences to develop a strategy for the region of the Park Partnership to establish strategies for called Great South Woods. Completed May, 2016. This promoting Adirondack regional resource is used for future funding opportunities. recreation and revitalization. http://www.esf.edu/aec/greatsouthwoods/

CAP-21 participated in the Adirondack Community Based Trails & Lodging Project plan which seeks to link trails to community amenities throughout the Park. The report completed in December, 2017 is available through the link below.

https://www.adkh2h.org/resources.html 1.3 Establish working relationships As our Towns and/or regional collaborative committee with both the North Country and identify projects that are shovel ready, appropriate grant Mohawk Valley Regional Economic funding opportunities will be identified to submit Development Councils applications.

1.4 Support expansion of broadband, Continued administrative support for the Town of Inlet to cellular and telecommuting establish an Emergency Communications Tower with the opportunities intent to also attract a cellular partner. CAP-21 received and processed donations for the Emergency Communications Tower Group of Inlet throughout 2019. To date, CAP-21 has received contributions totaling $202,010 and collaborated on an Adirondack Foundation “Adirondack Gives” crowd sourcing campaign that received $24,874.00. The Tower Committee has basically achieved its overall goal of $350,000.00 once two pledges are received upon confirmation of an APA permit award are combined with Town of Inlet municipal budgeted funds along with a substantial private donation from a seasonal Inlet resident. Letters of Interest from several cellular companies have been received by the Town of Inlet as they work through APA pre-application tower documentation.

CAP-21 is also working with ADK Action and ADK Research and the Towns of Forestport, Ohio, Webb, Inlet, Indian Lake, Long Lake and Arietta on the creation of a GIS Map. GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems which is using “Shape Files” (properties, buildout locations and roads within the software). Shape files provided by each county will be downloaded into the GIS software which creates a map identifying unserved or under-served residents within the Governor’s broadband initiative. Once identified, funding can be sought to support last mile solutions to these rural mountain residents.

1.5 Seek economic revitalization CAP-21 completed administration of an LWRP Grant for funding Phase 2 of Arrowhead Park in Inlet in 2018.

In June 2019, CAP-21 submitted a successful $100,000 grant application on behalf of the Town of Webb through the Adirondack Park Community Smart Growth Grant Program for the proposed Public Restroom Facility in Downtown Old Forge. The grant award was formerly announced in late November, 2019.

• Ongoing technical assistance to businesses seeking to start-up within the region, including referrals to Adirondack Economic Development Corporation (AEDC), North Country Transformational Community Tourism Revolving Loan Program Fund, North Country Small Business Development Center (SUNY College at Plattsburgh), and county Industrial Development Authorities (IDA);

• In 2018, CAP-21 was a member of the local steering committee working with SUNY POLY and Dr. Robert Edgell and his team for coordination of the annual Innovation Challenge NY (ICNY) project whereby approximately 80 college students were to “Reimagine Greater Old Forge” during their weekend visit in early October, 2018. The students spent an afternoon visiting various tour sites within Old Forge and Inlet, meeting local and regional community experts, and then sat down to collaborate and generate novel ideas with the potential for greater quality of life within our greater Old Forge area. The ideas were presented by the 15 teams in front of a panel of Judges with the top three ideas announced. All team ideas were then shared with the community in early June, 2019, at View. Town of Webb high school students also had an opportunity to critique the college student’s ideas and to come up with ideas of their own.

Social Responsibility

Strategic Plan Goals/Strategies Actions & Outcomes

2.1 Support activities relating to health care Emergency Services discussions facilitated by needs CAP-21 were helpful in leading to the eventual establishment of professional paid Paramedic staffing within the Town of Webb. CAP-21 has encouraged the Volunteer EMS Departments of Old Forge, Big Moose, Raquette Lake and Inlet to share their service statistics with the Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS) to ensure they receive recognition of the ongoing services they provide which could lead to funding opportunities or pilot programs in the future.

In late 2017, CAP-21 partnered with the Town of Inlet and private citizens to raise money to build an emergency communications tower. Through November, 2019, CAP-21 has received $202,010 in donations along with $24,874.00 through a crowd sourcing campaign through Adirondack Gives. The goal is to raise $350,000 and we have basically achieved that goal once we receive two pledged donations upon receipt of an approved APA permit and the funds are combined with Town of Inlet budget contributions and a private seasonal Inlet resident donation.

In late 2018, CAP-21 was asked to be on an advisory board with the SUNY POLY College of Health Sciences. The intent is to keep our region’s current and future health care needs on the forefront so that we may take advantage of opportunities and pilot programs as they arise. In 2019, several members of the College of Health Sciences became active in CAP-21’s working health care committee.

CAP-21 was a collaborative partner in scheduling a mobile mammography unit to visit the Town of Webb community in August, 2019 where 25 patients were seen.

In March, 2019, CAP-21 created a working health care committee with a mission to identify and document gaps in achievable health related programs, services and funding and to work with other local agencies and organizations to implement said programs and services which are lacking in our region. This process will enable residents and visitors of all ages the ability to live here and/or enjoy their time within our West Central Adirondack region.

Committee Progress:

• identified a new health care resource to bring back access to visiting nurse services

• collaborated with other health care providers to bring mental health resources to the Town of Webb primary care professional office

• collaborated with Mohawk Valley Health System Population Health to bring to light the shortage of Medicaid resources within Town of Webb through the DSRIP initiative that was created almost 5 years ago

• collaborated with MVHS to provide a disposal location for SHARPS within the primary care office in Old Forge. This disposal option benefits residents and visitors alike.

Projects still in the process include:

• identification of a home health case manager for our region

• confirm DSRIP resources for Hamilton County service region

• creation of a regional health care resources page within a soon to be updated CAP-21 organizational website. For those residents or visitors not comfortable with a computer or smart phone, the health care resources will be posted in hard copy throughout the communities at strategic locations.

• More prevention programming to the region to improve population health outcomes for cardiac, COPD, and diabetes populations to name just a few.

2.2 Support activities relating to housing issues In 2018, CAP-21 re-activated its housing committee to collaborate with the Town of Webb on ideas and funding sources for the local community labor force. The working committee has met with Kinderhook Development, the Valley Housing Coalition, Herkimer County IDA and several members of the Town of Webb town council to identify possible parcels of land that could be developed for workforce housing. We have contacted River Street Planning & Development to identify the cost of updating the June 2012 West Central Adirondack Housing Needs Assessment if necessary. The Town of Webb is working actively with our housing committee and is identifying parcels of land owned by the Town that have access to water and sewer that could be a viable solution for a workforce housing development. Additionally, we have learned a "Greater Mohawk Valley Land Bank" consisting of Herkimer, Montgomery, Otsego, Schoharie Counties and the cities of Rome and Utica was created. All of the properties within the land bank have to have an issue with them. Sometime they can rehab (which doesn’t happen as fast as preferred) the buildings and sometimes they have to demolish. The Land Bank has to own the property, but then prepares it for resale to get it back on the tax roll. Some properties, like mobile home parks, may be owned by the Land Bank for several years. The Land Bank is funded by grants and resale proceeds so it’s not in the best interest of the Land Bank to hold onto the properties.

2.3 Support activities relating to senior issues CAP-21 participated in several local discussions with The Community Foundation and Herkimer County Healthnet regarding health services for not only seniors but the community and region we represent. CAP-21’s seasonal Old Forge Farmers Market provides direct nutritional assistance to the senior community through our coupon program which provides the participant with $6.00 in tokens weekly to spend on fresh farm produce and other home-made food products throughout our 16-week market season. Tokens may be spent that market day or saved up to spend some time during the market season. Coupon/token activity totaled $1,652.00 for 2019. Funding of the coupon/token program comes directly from revenue earned by CAP-21 from vendor booth rental fees.

2.4 Support activities relating to children & youth Supported the Central Adirondack Association, Town and School in expanding mountain biking trails for all skill levels on McCauley Mountain and now includes connecting trails between the town business district, TOBIE trail and the mountain. Future expansion of these trails on the mountain and within the Town of Inlet are being discussed.

CAP-21 has activated an internal program committee to create dental health education in partnership with the Town of Webb UFSD. Dr. Anthony Lister, DDS, a CAP-21 board member, is heading up this committee.

2.5 Support activities relating to families for Continued our partnership with View and the cultural and recreational opportunities TOWUFSD regarding the community conversation of the Makerspace idea for the Town of Webb community and surrounding areas. CAP-21 will assist in keeping the momentum going.

Expansion of the mountain bike trail system in Old Forge and Inlet will also expand recreational activities in both communities.

The Mission Boutique - 2016

• In 2016, CAP-21 assisted the Niccolls Mission Boutique Committee in securing $57,300 from The Community Foundation of Herkimer & Oneida Counties, Inc., which along with other funds raised allowed the completion of construction of a new home for the Boutique. This non-secular program provides clothing and household goods for whatever a person can pay. Over 600 individuals and families take advantage of the Boutique each year.

• The CAP-21 Hanging Flower Basket program completed its 20th year of beautifying the business districts in Thendara, Eagle Bay, Big Moose and Old Forge in 2018. Unfortunately, the challenge to identify volunteers to water and fertilize the baskets throughout the Summer season in 2018, along with increased material costs and reduced community financial donations led to the retirement of this long-standing beautification program. Eagle Bay business owners took over the summer basket project for their specific community and had a beautiful display for 2019. CAP-21 donated baskets and fertilizer out of their inventory toward this endeavor. CAP-21 will be continuing the tradition of holiday winter baskets for the business district of Old Forge and Eagle Bay with baskets created and displayed prior to the Thanksgiving holiday until they are removed for the season in March. CAP-21 welcomes all new ideas from our residents to identify the next community beautification project.

Holiday Winter Basket Program 2019

• The Old Forge Farmers Market completed its 12th season with its greatest number of weekly market vendors. The Market also hosts numerous non-profits and community organizations including Herkimer County Office for the Aging and NYS Veterans Outreach. CAP-21 continued its implementation of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) and Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) to name a few. These programs enable those in the community to take advantage of the healthy local and regional foods. CAP-21 was able to provide $1,652.00 in direct nutritional assistance to our local community in 2019 through the CAP-21 church coupon/token program for seniors and/or families. CAP-21 distributes the seasonal coupons to St. Bartholomew’s Catholic Church, Niccolls Memorial Church and Inlet Community Church. It is left up to the local churches to identify those seniors or families in need which would most benefit from these coupons at our market.

Environmental Balance

Strategic Plan Goals/Strategies Actions & Outcomes

3.1 Implement activities that promote waterway- Completed work with the Town of Long Lake on based tourism implementing local waterfront improvements including the reconstruction of the Town dock in 2018.

Continued collaboration with Village of Tupper Lake on a regional waterfront project that will install accessible dockage at Sixth Lake in Inlet. The dockage has been delayed due to projected improvements to the Sixth Lake Dam.

CAP-21 is a regional partner for the Northern Forest Canoe Trail and their Trail Towns initiative.

CAP-21 is a partner with the Adirondack Lakes Alliance committed to sustaining the quality of our waterways.

3.2 Implement activities that promote trail and CAP-21 completed administration for the park development or improvement improvements to Arrowhead Park as part of a Department of State Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan (LWRP) in 2018.

CAP-21 will search for funding for the Fern Park Master Plan projects once identified.

3.3 Implement activities that support forest CAP-21 assisted the Okara Lakes Association with management or products, or related fundraising administration to address the environmental research infestation of Bladderwort. This project was completed in 2018.

3.4 Support wildlife management/research and CAP-21 continues as a community partner for the invasive species management Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP) and the Inlet Regional Knotweed Project. CAP-21 coordinates with the DEC an “Invasive Day” at the Farmer’s Market and continues to support the boat decontamination station on 4th Lake in Inlet along State Route 28 and the Lake Steward Inspector at the 4th Lake Boat Launch, which is the second busiest boat launch in the Adirondack Park behind Great Sacandaga Lake per Adirondack Watershed Institute statistics.

CAP-21 advocacy was instrumental in getting the Town of Webb and Town of Inlet to allocate annual budget funds for invasive species management as needed.

3.5 Support energy efficiency initiatives that In late 2018, with CAP-21’s grant writing sustain local resources assistance, the Town of Webb was awarded a grant totaling $66,200 for replacement of snow guns and a fan gun for McCauley Mt. through NYSERDA.

• CAP-21 continues to assist the Town of Webb in reviewing its clean water infrastructure needs and seeking funding to improve both clean and wastewater systems. In July 2017, we submitted a CFA application for comprehensive professional engineering and planning services to determine needs for rehabilitation and upgrading of its existing wastewater systems. We were notified in December, 2017 that the grant was awarded totaling $24,900. • As part of a regional Raquette River waterfront revitalization grant, CAP-21 assisted the Town of Long Lake in making significant improvements in the waterfront and business district of the Town. The new town dock was completed in late 2018. • Also, as part of a regional waterfront revitalization grant with the Village of Tupper Lake, CAP- 21 is working with the Town of Inlet in improving dockage access for Sixth and Seventh Lake on the Fulton Chain. Unfortunately, a delay in the 6th Lake dock project is due to anticipated repairs to the 6th Lake Dam by the Hudson River/Black River Regulating District. • CAP-21 secured reimbursement funds for the Town of Inlet as part of the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) recycling capital grants program - $39,464 in 2018 and $38,356 in 2019.

Community Grant Writing

The CAP-21 community grant writing program was developed through the support of The Community Foundation of Oneida & Herkimer Counties, Inc. CAP-21 currently receives sustaining support from the Central Adirondack Association (CAA) and the Towns of Inlet, Webb and Long Lake for this purpose.

CAP-21 is continually striving to make a dent in this regional consolidated funding grant process and to promote the recognition of issues and concerns of our small Adirondack communities, as well as securing financial support to address these concerns.

CAP-21 believes that it has a vital role to play in fostering and supporting vibrant and sustainable year-round Central Adirondack communities. In its role as a regional community grant writer, CAP-21 has offered its assistance over the years to other community groups and organizations such as Community Transportation Services (CTS), MACs Safe Ride, the Niccolls Mission Boutique Committee, the Inlet American Legion, the Inlet Church of the Lakes, the Senior Health Activities Recreation Program (SHARP), Okara Lakes Association, the Inlet Barnstormers, Big Moose Emergency Services, Inlet Youth Fund, the Town of Webb Scholarship Fund and the Friends of Mirnie. In the recent past, CAP-21 helped facilitate a dialogue between the Adirondack League Club (ALC) Community Fund and local non-profit organizations within the Town of Webb. The ALC Community Fund is a donor directed fund administered by the Herkimer/Oneida Community Foundation with all resources directed to improving community life within the Town of Webb.

In 2019, nearly $64,000 was provided by the ALC Community Fund to organizations including CTS, HASCA, KYAC, SHARP, Kinderwood, North Woods Community Center, Webb Historical Society, Webb Polar Bears Ski Club, Niccolls Memorial Church, Big Moose Fire Company, Inlet Historical Society, Inlet Volunteer Emergency Services, Old Forge Volunteer Ambulance Corp and Fire Department, Old Forge Library, Forestport Fire Dept., Town of Webb UFSD, and CAP-21. CAP-21 would like to again thank the Adirondack League Club for their commitment and generosity to these community organizations.

In June 2019, CAP-21 submitted a successful $100,000 grant application on behalf of the Town of Webb through the Adirondack Park Community Smart Growth Grant Program for the proposed Public Restroom Facility in Downtown Old Forge. The grant award was formerly announced in late November, 2019.

CAP-21 also functions as the economic development entity for the Central Adirondack Association (CAA). CAP-21 provides our townships with a voice and representation on regional issues, such as the Essex Chain Lakes and Boreas Pond land use classifications, the Remsen-Lake Placid Corridor Unit Management Plan, Unit Management plans for Alger Island and Limekiln Lake, DEC regulations on invasive species management, review of the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan (APSLMP) and the DEC proposed regulatory changes on the state’s Open Space Plan. By adding our voice, CAP-21 will support projects and initiatives that preserve and sustain our unique heritage, particularly our forests, mountains and waterways, and that also promotes a healthy economy within our private and public lands.

In addition to our ongoing partnership with CAA, CAP-21 seeks to strengthen our collaborations with other regional Adirondack non-profits. In 2019, CAP-21 continued to partner and collaborate with the Common Ground Alliance, the Adirondack Non-Profit Network (ANN), the Adirondack North County Association (ANCA), the Adirondack Lakes Alliance, the Adirondack Foundation (formerly Adirondack Community Trust - ACT), the Adirondack Diversity Council, The Community Foundation of Herkimer & Oneida Counties, the Adirondack Council, Adirondack Action, and the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Project (APIPP).

Inlet Veterans Square Memorial – 2016

For 2020, the CAP-21 Board has charged staff to address the following issues:

• Continue our work on promoting regional economic development and opportunities.

• Promote partnerships between communities and organizations to develop strategies and approaches to combining services and funding opportunities.

• Address the continuing problem of affordable homeownership for the people who work in our communities. Discussions are escalating on a possible town owned parcel which is accessible to town water and sewer which could be an ideal location for workforce housing.

• Continue to work with our service communities in evaluating and expanding their interest in creating a Makerspace within each community.

• Supporting our regional school districts and assist in the Adirondack Education Collaboration

• Support the development of services that are essential to sustainable communities and improved quality of life for all demographics including the availability of health care, senior services, children and youth programs and strong schools. For example, in 2019, CAP-21 identified a new health care provider who will provide visiting nurse services locally for needs such as wound care, IV/port flushes, etc. upon discharge from area hospitals.

• Promote a welcoming and supportive approach to increasing the diversity of visitors and residents within the region.

During the coming year, CAP-21 will continue to move forward with the important components of our mission statement which includes the creation of a regional collaborative committee working toward a regional economic revitalization plan with the help of the Adirondack Park Agency, identify a parcel of land for a workforce housing development, and continue our positive impact with regards to health care resources and programs. We believe that sustainable communities will not occur without enlightened citizens and concerted effort, and we are pleased to be a part of that effort in making our local communities great places to live, work and play.
