<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19539/20120322/green-group-suit-secret-talks-shaped-apa-apos-s-resort-decision</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 22, 2012) A coalition of environmental groups and local landowners filed suit this week, hoping to block construction of the Adirondack Club and Resort in Tupper Lake. The lawsuit claims that state officials ignored key environmental rules protecting open space and wildlife in the Park. But the suit also alleges that members of the Adirondack Park Agency broke the law by meeting secretly with the resort&apos;s developers in the weeks before commissioners voted 10-to-1 to approve the project.As Brian Mann reports, that claim is based in part on a story that first aired here on North Country Public Radio back in January.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 13, 2011) In Tupper Lake, the latest round of hearings into the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort has been focusing on economic questions about the project. Developers Michael Foxman and Tom Lawson hope to build hundreds of condos and mansions, along with a new ski area, marina, equestrian center and other amenities. The price tag for the project is roughly $500 million.Some business leaders in the village say they’re satisfied that the company has laid out a realistic plan for building the expansive resort. But some resort experts, state officials, and local government leaders in Tupper Lake say they still have questions about how the project will be financed and how enough buyers will be found for the new homes. Brian Mann has our story.

<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 22, 2011) For seven years, developer Michael Foxman has been promising to build a massive new resort in Tupper Lake, worth roughly $500 million. He’s hoping to win final approval for the project from the Adirondack Park Agency this fall.Many community leaders have embraced his vision as a way to revive a former logging and manufacturing town that lost seven percent of its population over the last decade.But an investigation by North Country Public Radio, in partnership with the Adirondack Explorer magazine, found that significant doubts remain about the economic viability of Foxman’s resort.Over a period of weeks and dozens of interviews, we found that important questions remain unanswered about how the resort will be financed and marketed.As Brian Mann reports, it’s unclear when the project’s elaborate infrastructure and amenities, including those at the Big Tupper ski area, will be built.

<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 10, 2011) The Adirondack Park Agency’s staff has released a draft version of what the state is calling “potential permit conditions” that would shape the big new resort proposed for Tupper Lake.APA officials say those conditions for the Adirondack Club and Resort could change following a final round of hearings that are set to get underway later this month.The project also needs a final vote of approval from the APA board.But it appears that the Park Agency’s staff is preparing to recommend that the project be allowed to move forward with some relatively minor changes and restrictions.
