<description><![CDATA[ (May 13, 2010) The Open Space Institute has helped to engineer some of the most important land conservation deals in the Adirondack Park over the last decade.OSI financed the Tahawus purchase, which protected parts of the southern High Peaks.  The group also helped fund the massive Finch, Pruyn deal worth more than $110 million.But OSI executive director Joe Martens, who also heads the Olympic Regional Development Authority board, says the fiscal crisis in Albany is changing the rules for how the Park should be managed. Martens spoke in depth with NCPR&apos;s Adirondack bureau chief, Brian Mann.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 5, 2007) Last month, the Lake Placid News reported that top officials at the Olympic Regional Development Authority were blind-sided by Governor Spitzer&apos;s appointment of a new ORDA chairman. In mid-May, Spitzer chose prominent environmental activist Joe Martens to head the ORDA board.  The name was sent in a public document to state Senators. In June, ORDA officials said they were never informed of the decision and hadn&apos;t been officially notified.  But as Brian Mann reports, several top ORDA leaders were told of the nomination.
