In New York’s Adirondacks and other North Country areas, we’ve worked with wood products manufacturers, community recreation leaders, and communities eager to attract new residents, aiming to build community assets and businesses that are essential for thriving communities.
Where We Work
Regional and Other Adirondack Projects
Attracting and Retaining Residents
The Center has launched an initiative to help communities attract a new generation of residents, retain current residents, and bring back young people who have left.
Sustaining robust populations is essential to maintaining the schools, workforces, civic leadership, and volunteerism that contribute to thriving communities.
