<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 6, 2012) Earlier this week the village of Potsdam unveiled its long-awaited plan to revitalize its waterfront and downtown areas. It includes a facelift for the village’s Ives Park and improvements in recreational access to the Raquette river; and construction of an open-air pavilion where an expanded farmers market would take place. It calls for a big new hotel in the village; streetscape improvements in the downtown and waterfront areas; a riverfront walkway; and public restrooms. And there would also be a big marketing effort and a new Potsdam website.

<title>Fresh worries and some accusations in Colton</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17595/20110504/fresh-worries-and-some-accusations-in-colton</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 4, 2011) Brookfield Renewable Power says it&apos;s steadily releasing water down the Raquette River to make room for the latest rainfall.  In a press release, the company says it&apos;ll be several days before an &quot;appreciable decline&quot; in water levels is seen.

In the town of Colton, the river&apos;s receded several inches over the last few days.  But that&apos;s likely to change due to last night and today&apos;s heavy rain.

Meanwhile, some residents are pointing fingers at the company that operates the Raquette&apos;s many dams.  David Sommerstein was in Colton yesterday and has this report.
