Wednesday, August 29 @ 2-4 pm & 6-8 pm
Location: Fort William Henry Conference Center, Lake George, NY
The Lake George Park Commission is hosting its second public meeting designed to inform Lake George boaters and watershed residents about a prevention plan to control the introduction of new aquatic invasive species in Lake George.
Wednesday’s meeting will concentrate on the details of four specific actions that the Lake George Park Commission could potentially adopt. All of these actions will have some impact on the Lake George boating community. The public meeting will provide an opportunity to ask questions about each alternative strategy as well as to select the strategy you believe would be most effective for Lake George.
You are invited to drop in any time between 2:00-4:00 and 6:00-8:00. An outline of four potential alternatives will be presented at 2:30 and 6:30.
A third public meeting is set for Wednesday, September 27. This meeting will outline the details and implementation of the selected alternative strategy.

Update: 3:50 PM
