Protect the Adirondacks!, a non-profit, grassroots membership organization, hired Yellow Wood Associates to review application materials for the Adirondack Club and Resort (ACR). a major real estate development proposed for Tupper Lake, New York. Yellow Wood’s contributions focused on economic and fiscal impacts including: the extent to which the Village of Tupper Lake may incur liabilities related to installation of sewer related infrastructure and roads installed by the developer; the extent to which local unemployed individuals are likely to benefit from the proposed development through direct employment; and the assessment of overall municipal carrying costs of resort development. Yellow Wood conducted research and prepared and delivered testimony at the hearing held by the Adirondack Park Agency.
