Hazard Mitigation
The Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Warren County Office of Emergency Services would like to announce that surveys to collect information for the new Warren County Hazard Mitigation Plan are now available online.
At this time there are nine different on-line surveys that are available for public outreach and education. They run the gamut from general citizenry to emergency responders to business and more. These surveys provide an opportunity to provide information that will assist with the development of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. You can access the surveys directly at http://www.warrencountynyhmp.com/Pages/default.aspx. You can also access the surveys through the link below.
This is an opportunity for your concerns or issues to be heard and included in the Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Economic Development
The Village of Lake George, in coordination with the
Adirondack Park Agency’s Hamlet Economic Planning and Assistance
initiative, are developing an economic development plan for the Hamlet
areas of Lake George. The plan will also seek to leverage improvements
from the Gateway Project, which will turn Route 9 from Exit 21 to the
Village line into a boulevard with sidewalks, new lighting, a median,
and bike lanes, to generate new growth in the community. In order to
determine components of the plan, we seek your input and feedback.
Please fill out this survey so that we can achieve your vision for Lake
George! Link:
