Determining Schroon's Future
/
David Peterson, the administrator of the Schroon Lake Facebook page, reminds us about tonight’s meeting (Sunday) where candidates in Tuesday’s Schroon Lake Election, will have a chance to talk about their platforms with the community.
From David: “Most of the candidates on the ballot have confirmed that they will be in attendance. Each candidate will have a limited amount of time to speak. Then the candidates will be available for you to meet and ask questions. Personally, this will be my 16th Candidates Night and there have been times where my vote was determined by something said by a candidate”.

“Blue Ridge Road at the Schroon River is CLOSED in both directions. The old Frontier Town and the Sunoco station are under 5-6 feet of water. The water is running right at the bottom of the bridge, and the crews are expecting it to breach the bridge later today. Be SAFE NEVER attempt to cross a flooded roadway. Updates as and when.”
