    Shouldn’t we be disturbed by the lack of transparency here. $29 million and no one knows anything and can’t find out. It’s in the budget and our politicians don’t seem to think this is a lot of money? This reminds me of the $20 million dollar welcome centers that were built which are basically a place for people to use the bathroom and walk their dog.

    APA offices seem well situated right now in Ray Brook, adjacent to several other state agencies. There is plenty of room to expand there. The old downtown power building is much better suited to other purposes such as housing combined with some first-floor retail or commercial space.

    I would agree with Mr. K.J.Murphy about the use and location-Not sure about adequete parking at the downtown location–and WHY is it needed???

    According to posts made by Village Trustee Rich Shapiro on the APA Facebook page, the Agency intends to construct a new 3-story 18,000 square foot building in addition to leasing the existing Paul Smiths Power & Light building.
