Fossil fuel exploration on these sites is a threat to the people who live on the surrounding land and to Chaco Canyon, New Mexico's crown jewel and the ancestral home of Native Americans of the Southwest. Protection from oil and gas activity around Chaco Canyon is essential to protecting New Mexico's uhique history, environment and vital resources. Instead of continuing to develop fossil fuels on our public lands, we need to make a just transition to renewable energy to create ways to engage in environmentally sustainable, as well as culturally appropriate, economic development. We ask you to cancel the lease sale of parcels: NM-201906-012-24; 26-46; 48-51 and NM-201906-025 & 47 to protect Chaco Canyon and the Greater Chaco Region from oil and gas activities that could destroy this designated World Heritage Site, a landmark like no other on Earth.

  • Chapter 8 Rail
    Chapter 8 Rail A component of the SAFETEA-LU legislation is to improve interregional and international transportation and to serve the mobility needs of people and freight. New York State’s Transportation Master Plan’s vision is to create a seamless system in which travelers can conveniently shift between modes and operators to complete trips that meet their individual and business needs. Long-Range planning efforts in Herkimer and Oneida Counties are consistent with this vision in planning transportation systems that will serve the mobility needs of people and freight. Rail transportation is an efficient way to move freight and people while saving energy, reducing air pollution, relieving traffic congestion, and reducing maintenance and repair on the highway network. Rail service in the HOCTS Planning Area consists not only of long-distance, pass-through freight movement. There are also short lines that deliver goods to local industries, passenger service provided by Amtrak at stations in Utica and Rome and the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. The use and condition of the Utica and Rome stations, the Adirondack Scenic Railroad and the implementation of high-speed rail are high priorities for the region. Recommendations made in this chapter include: the implementation of the Union Station Master Plan, elimination or correction of unsafe grade crossings, restoration of the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, and support for high-speed passenger rail service. HOCTS 8 - 1 Chapter 8 Rail Destinations 2010 - 2030 2009 New York State Rail Plan The 2009 New York State Rail Plan presents a 20-year plan (through 2030) for the state's rail system and describes strategies and initiatives aimed at rebuilding the rail transportation system.

    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.

After serving two terms, Mr. Adams went on to serve as the second President of the United States and continued to contribute to our nation's history as a statesman.
