Officials should assess wind power's impact on tourism in NNY
FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2011
In reference to the Watertown Times Tuesday, April 5, edition, and the article entitled "Funds coming to boost tourism": While that is welcome tourism funding news for the north country, I couldn't help but wonder why our north country officials have been silent when it comes to assessing the potential tourism impact of converting our aesthetic Lake Ontario/St. Lawrence coastal areas to industrial wind farms.
Where and what is the tourism impact assessment by the Seaway Trail, a publicly funded agency dedicated to promoting tourism and protecting the natural beauty of our coastline?
Given the economic importance of tourism to the north country, isn't it time our regional and county leaders, and tourism officials responsibly address this developing matter?
