<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 29, 2012) After a decade of pushing environmental causes, negotiating with local government leaders and working to build new consensus on some of the Park&apos;s thorniest issues, Brian Houseal is stepping down as head of the Adirondack Council. Spokesman John Sheehan said the green group, the Adirondacks&apos; largest and most influential, is &quot;well-equipped for the transition.&quot; Todd Moe has details.

<title>Disarray in Adirondack environmental community, defeat on Tupper resort</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19181/20120124/disarray-in-adirondack-environmental-community-defeat-on-tupper-resort</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 24, 2012) Last week’s decision by the Adirondack Park Agency to allow construction of a massive new resort in Tupper Lake was a major defeat for environmental groups.  Developers of the Adirondack Club and Resort won permission to build more than 700 luxury homes and condos, much of it on timberland that borders the High Peaks Wilderness.Green activists spent much of the last decade opposing the project, insisting that it would set dangerous precedents for future development. But debate over the resort came at a time when once-powerful environmental groups were disintegrating, faltering under financial strain and deeply divided over the movement’s agenda. As Brian Mann reports, last week’s vote could signal a balance of power in Park debates as environmentalists scramble to regroup.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 13, 2011) Governor Andrew Cuomo proposed a green jobs plan in his State of the State address that includes $100 million dollars to promote smart growth and sustainability projects. While environmental groups like the idea, some say it’s under-funded from the start. The Innovation Trail&apos;s Dan Bazile has more.

<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 29, 2010) A movement to establish an economic zone uniting the Adirondack Park is gaining momentum and encouraging new cooperation.

<title>Critics, lawsuit claim Adirondack Council sways APA decisions unfairly</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 4, 2010) For years, critics have claimed that a prominent environmental group called the Adirondack Council holds too much sway over decisions made by the Adirondack Park Agency. Nearly half of the public members now sitting on the Park Agency commission are former members of the Council’s board of directors. State officials say safeguards are in place, preventing any outside group from influencing the APA’s deliberations unfairly.  But a lawsuit filed in November claims that Park Agency worked secretly with the Council, targeting a real estate developer in Clinton County. Brian Man has our special report.

<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 27, 2008) When Republican Governor George Pataki left office, local leaders in the Adirondack Park worried that tensions with Albany and with environmental groups would escalate. The Glens Falls Post-Star published an editorial arguing that it might be time to do away with the Adirondack Park Agency. But as Brian Mann reports, all sides say ties between Park leaders and Albany have actually improved dramatically.
