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. New Webb Navigation Dock Constructed / NYS Local Waterfront Revitalization Grant - 2010 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.

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); Old Forge – Thendara Community Free Shuttle 2018 Town of Forestport - Woodgate Library (2014/2015) • 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.

The 25 counties of FL-LOWPA express their gratitude to Governor George Pataki and the New York State Legislature for support of the FL-LOWPA program. The principal investigators for this project were Elizabeth Moran, Ph.D. and John Roebig, Ph.D. of EcoLogic, LLC in Cazenovia, New York. Several individuals affiliat- ed with FL-LOWPA contributed substantially to the project, including county rep- resentatives Jim Balyszak (Yates County), Warren Hart (Ontario County), Charlie Knauf (Monroe County), Russ Nemecek (Onondaga County), Karen Noyes (Oswego County) and staff members Betsy Landre and Marion Balyszak (Water Resources Board)/. Mercury Print Productions in Rochester, New York designed the layout and printed the report. An endeavor to characterize water quality status and programming at the local level across a region as vast as the New York Lake Ontario Basin depends upon infor- mation from many sources. Dozens of water resources professionals at the federal, state, regional, county and local levels and water quality coordinating committees in the Basin provided valuable information that made this project possible.
