“We had an excellent turnout, and the presentations provided valuable insights into the ambitious plan to transform Lake George into a vibrant year-round community,” said GPSA Liaison Devendra Kanithi. “The enthusiasm and collaboration of community leaders and stakeholders were inspirational.”
The GPSA’s next event is a guided walking tour of Albany Rural Cemetery on April 24, 2024. It will include a demonstration of the Albany Rural Cemetery Explorer (ARCE) app which was developed in partnership with the University at Albany.
