<title>Local governments blast, praise Adirondack land deal</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20541/20120925/local-governments-blast-praise-adirondack-land-deal</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 25, 2012) Governor Andrew Cuomo made headlines across New York this week after his trip to the Adirondacks.  He traveled to Essex County on Sunday to paddle and fish for trout. But Cuomo&apos;s main mission in the North Country was promoting the $50 million conservation project that will add nearly 70,000 acres to the Park&apos;s forest preserve.  Here in the North Country, that historic deal is still drawing fierce criticism from some local government leaders, and from groups that represent the Park&apos;s towns and villages. But other local government leaders are embracing the land deal and say it will be good for their communities and the Park economy.

<title>Local government leaders divided over Finch conservation deal</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17174/20110217/local-government-leaders-divided-over-finch-conservation-deal</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 17, 2011) In his budget unveiled earlier this month, Governor Andrew Cuomo maintained the state’s Environmental Protection Fund at more than $130 million. Green groups praised the decision and say they hope some of the money will be used this year to expand the Adirondack forest preserve.The Nature Conservancy wants to sell tens of thousands of acres to the state, lands that were once part of the Finch timber property. Now one of the most prominent local government groups in the Park is trying to rally opposition to the plan. The Adirondack Local Government Review Board passed a strongly-worded resolution last month. The resolution urges the Governor to cancel additional land purchases in the Park until the state’s fiscal crisis is over. But the Review Board’s campaign represents a break with the stance taken by dozens of local communities in the Park, which have supported the project for years.In the first of a two-part special series, Brian Mann reports that some town leaders say they still want the Finch conservation project to go forward.

<title>Do Adirondack towns really oppose new state land deals?</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17101/20110204/do-adirondack-towns-really-oppose-new-state-land-deals</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 4, 2011) Yesterday, we reported that the Cuomo administration appears to be moving forward with plans to buy new parcels of land in the Adirondack Park.  If that happens, the property would be added to the “forever wild” Forest Preserve.  Now one state-sponsored group called the Local Government Review Board, is urging Governor Cuomo to scrap the plan.  But as Brian Mann reports, green groups say local governments are sending mixed signals about new land deals in the Park.
