flag New York voters narrowly approved a measure to add 2,500 acres to the Adirondack Forest Preserve, correcting a constitutional violation.

flag New York voters narrowly approved Proposition 1, passing a measure to correct a constitutional violation by adding 2,500 acres to the Adirondack Forest Preserve. flag The vote, with about 46% in favor and over 12% blank, addresses the Olympic Regional Development Authority’s construction on 323 acres of protected land at the Mt. flag Van Hoevenberg Sports Complex in Lake Placid, which violated the state’s “forever wild” clause. flag While North Country counties supported the measure, opposition was stronger in downstate areas, particularly outside Manhattan, which narrowly approved it. flag The amendment strengthens oversight of public land use and follows past changes allowing managed development in the region. flag The Department of Environmental Conservation has not yet identified the specific land or funding for acquisition.
