Attached on this PDF are the two layouts - first and second floor - for the Inn On Schroon Lake property. Julia Pitkin-Shantz distributed at the Town Board Meeting to give board members and residents an idea of what the new Inn could potentially look like. Julia tells Schroon Laker.com she will be meeting soon with her landscape architects to find a way to incorporate a new public access pedestrian road. 

From Julia: "These are a VERY rough sketch because the Town asked for a picture.  As we figure out the location of the road, the siting and design of the building will be adjusted to meet the specs of the program".

From Mark: It seems like it was just last week I was scraping ice off my car, but now the miracle that is the Schroon Lake Watershed has come to life. It is green everywhere; pollen is spreading, people are sneezing, birds, insects and frogs are about. Our pair of loons on Paradox are calling to each other and our cat refuses to leave the front porch. The dog shakes pollen and seeds throughout the house but luckily this year no mud!
