Schroon Lake once again got an early Christmas present, winning New York Sate grant money for three projects for our community from Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Fund.

There are now funds available to redevelop the Town tennis courts and hockey rink, money for improvements to Schroon Lake’s Waterfront and funding for the Adirondack Shakespeare Company.

The goal of the fund is to create jobs, improve the quality of life for folks where the grant money goes and grow local economies through tourism.
