DEC Meeting on Hurricane and Jay Mountain Management Plans Canceled Due to
Weather<\/p>\n

The meeting on the Hurricane Mountain Primitive Area and Jay Mountain
Wilderness Draft Unit Management Plans that had been scheduled to be held
this evening (2\/25) at the Keene Central School in Keene Valley has been
canceled due to weather. The New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation will reschedule the meeting for another time. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

State officials say they want to remove two popular, historic fire towers in the Adirondack Park<\/a>, on Hurricane Mountain and on St. Regis Mountain.<\/p>\n

Public hearings on the plan will be held by the Department of Environmental Conservation tonight.<\/p>\n

Environmental organizations throughout the park are supporting the DEC’s proposal.<\/p>\n

But many locals and town government leaders say removing the towers would eliminate part of the Park’s history.<\/p>\n

The public hearing on the proposed Hurricane Mountain Primitive Area plan will be held at 6:30 p.m. tonight at the Keene Central School.<\/p>\n

A hearing on the proposed amendments to the St. Regis plan will be held at the same time at the Paul Smith’s College Freer Science building.<\/p>\n

A Facebook group has formed around the issue here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll have a report on the hearings tomorrow morning during the 8 O’clock Hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
