    North Country Regional Economic Development Council Tourism Destination Area Nomination Workbook New York’s North Country Region North Country New York [TOURISM DESTINATION AREA NOMINATION WORKBOOK] Why is tourism important to the North Country? Tourism offers the most viable opportunity to diversity and ignite the North Country economy by capitalizing on existing demand to attract a wide variety of private investment that will transform communities. Tourism is already a $1 billion industry in the North Country and with its low upfront investment cost and quicker return on investment that many other industries, it is well- positioned to drive a new North Country economy as well as complement other strategic clusters of economic activity. Year-round tourism promotes a more sustainable, stable economy and more jobs; it’s the most likely growth industry for this region and will help recruit other types of investment. The region has a history of hospitality and several successful tourism hubs in place and exceptional four-season outdoor recreational opportunities are poised to leverage private investment in lodging, restaurant, attraction and other types of tourism related venues. Recognizing the transformative potential that tourism has in the North Country, the Regional Economic development Council is advancing the following strategies: Put tools in place to attract private investment in tourism which will drive demand to revitalize and diversity communities and create a climate that will allow entrepreneurs to flourish. Develop tourism infrastructure to transform the Region by driving community development and leveraging private investment in tourism destination area communities and corridors. The key to these strategies is that they recognize and focus attention on the need to attract and foster development in attractions, facilities and infrastructure conducive to attracting the 21st century traveling public.

  • Annual Report 2011-12 Letter from Protect the Adirondacks
    Annual Report 2011-12 Letter from Protect the Adirondacks Board of Directors The Board of Protect the Adirondacks took bold actions in 2011-12 to assure our viability in protecting this most sacred part of New York State. Two main organization changes Charles Clusen occurred: veteran Park activist Peter Bauer was hired as the Executive Director and the Chair building housing the Center for the Forest Preserve in Niskayuna was transferred to Union College. Lorraine Duvall Dale Jeffers Peter Bauer brings many years of experience in Adirondack Park advocacy and managing Michael Wilson grassroots non-profit organizations. Peter said “I feel very privileged to get the opportunity Vice-Chairs to join PROTECT. We’re faced with terrific challenges around the Park, from monitoring decisions by regulatory agencies to advocating for new Wilderness areas to protecting the Kenneth Strike Forest Preserve from motorized uses to protecting Park forests from clearcutting. PRO- Secretary TECT brings strong principles and political savvy to these issues so I’m confident that we can help to improve things.” David Quinn Treasurer Peter Borrelli, who negotiated the agreements with Union College on behalf of the PRO- Nancy Bernstein TECT Board in his capacity as senior advisor, said “The goals of the Board of Directors Anya Bickford were to retire debt associated with the construction and operation of the building, find a new Peter Borrelli use for the building compatible with the purposes intended by Schaefer and the Association John Caffry for the Protection of the Adirondacks, and maintain the library in the Capital District. This Dean Cook transaction will fulfill all three.” John Douglas Mary Lou Doulin Protecting Adirondack waters continued to be one of our main concerns.

  • 2020 Annual Report
    2020 Annual Report Letter from the President and Executive Director Communications, Connection, and Community In a year dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, our days were filled with adversity, tragedy, and grief. The existential crises we faced, the struggle for social justice, and challenges to our democracy commanded our attention. Through it all, the creativity and determination of our colleagues gave us strength and hope. Your continuing support and engagement helped us ensure that that our network not only remained strong but grew beyond the physical boundaries of our state and our nation. Our members, industry partners, legislative allies, federal and state funding agencies, and private foundations stepped up to help museums cope with the challenge of how to remain financially viable and reach audiences when the doors of our buildings were forced to close. As NY on Pause stretched through the spring into the summer and fall, MANY board and staff pursued new partnerships and resources to keep our community connected, informed, and prepared to meet the operational challenges. We vigilantly sought out the most current and accurate information to first help our community adapt to a virtual world and then to welcome visitors with appropriate distancing protocols and safety standards. We also know that many of our museums did not open to the public at all in 2020 and that one in four New York museums are in danger of permanent closure. New York’s museums continue to grapple with limited opportunities for earned income and restricted visitor capacities, but the lessons we all learned in 2020 about virtual program delivery and enhanced digital access to collections will continue to serve us well into the future.
