    “David Gibson, managing partner of Adirondack Wild: Friends of the Forest Preserve, was not familiar with the former Boy Scouts camp, but he was concerned about the land use classification of the property. He hoped Singh and his family would work with the Lake George Land Conservancy or another similar entity to make sure the lands were preserved and protected .”
    Why would you be concerned with the land classification ? The new owner has every right to do as they please on resource management lands as long as it falls under APA guide lines. Most reasonable Adirondack park residents could care less what Adirondack Wild thinks . Is the APA going to change the classification of the property because David Gibson has concerns ?

      Well said. With the bond and spend act now passed they are all lining up for their pet project purchases in Albany. It appears that the Mr Singh beat them the punch. Now let’s demonize him as an evil developer and force him off his private land. The Albany game.

      Yeah the Adirondacks will be destroyed in no time with people with money and your mindset. The public land in the Adirondacks is not enough to keep the Adirondacks very special. People with deep pockets and the desire to develop anywhere they want will put this world on a fast track to be far less wild.

      Why didn’t David buy it 1st? It’s been for sale. People trying to tell others what they can and can’t do on their own land is ridiculous.

    At age 70, do you really think it is for personal use? It is just the beginning. They get their foot in the door or in this case the Adirondack and boom, a new resort or building homes.

    Just google the articles about him. What he did while developing in the Keys etc. He is no conservationist or environmentalist. He is even known for doing a hostile takeover of an ocean conservation nonprofit. The writer did a great job of researching.
