Willsboro School Board proposes budget below tax levy cap
ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County supervisors approved sale of the county Community Planning building on about ¾ of an acre to Stewart’s Shops. They set the offer at $650,000.
Resolution 84 authorized sale of the 0.785 acre property off Route 9. The county has owned the building and lot since December 1989. The $650,000 offer was set “upon approval of the county attorney” to effect the sale to Stewart’s Shops Inc. As of last Friday, the transaction had not been recorded in the Essex County Clerk’s deed book. But Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew said Stewart’s has tentatively accepted the offer, pending review of development through the Elizabethtown Planning Board. » Stewart’s Cont. on pg. 4
NOT SO BAD FOR BUSINESS
Plan includes full-time SRO, accommodates health costs By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER
WILLSBORO |The proposed 2019-20 school budget for Willsboro Central School comes in almost a point under the 4.97 percent state tax-levy cap allowance. The tax levy — the amount to be raised by taxes — for Willsboro residents would be $5,466,541, up 4.03 percent. The total proposed budget is $9,697,420, up 4.73 percent. About half of the projected budget increase covers a 13.5 percent health insurance cost increase, according to Superintendent Justin Gardner. The health insurance cost next year requires an expense increase of $215,000. The school board also opted to spend $60,000 for a full-time school resource officer through a program offered by the Essex County Sheriff ’s Department. The expense would place a full-time sheriff ’s deputy in the school building 40 hours per week. The estimated tax rate in the proposed budget would be $12.29 per thousand dollars of real property value, Gardner said; that’s up 47 cents per thousand from current spending.
Regulations that have protected the Adirondack forests have not simultaneously harmed the economy, a new report suggests.

NORTH CREEK | The Adirondack Park has performed better economically than the rest of rural America since the inception of the Adirondack Park Agency, according to a new study, a finding that is at odds with the conventional wisdom that environmental regulations are bad for business. Overall, the report points to a park population that has become older and wealthier through the years, but appears to lack corresponding opportunity for younger people, many of whom have

left for college and/or careers. “From 1970 to 2010, compared to rural communities elsewhere, many Adirondack communities experienced improvement in median household income, per capita income, and poverty rate,” the report states. “Far from showing a wasteland of economic distress, longterm trends over 40 years show Adirondack communities that consistently out-performed other areas in Upstate New York and across Rural America.”
