The Lake George Association successfully secures grants each year
from private foundations and public sources for projects that seek to protect and preserve
the water quality of Lake George and the natural beauty of the watershed. These projects
continue LGA’s efforts to build a sense of community involvement, heightened
awareness and support. The job of preserving water quality is immense, but together we are
making a positive difference in the future of Lake George.
These lake-saving projects are the result of joint
planning efforts of LGA and various communities and agencies. They are developed and
completed in cooperation with state and local government, property owner associations,
citizen groups and individual volunteers. They involve investigation to identify problems,
analysis and assessment of findings, planning or design of solutions, followed by
implementation and/or education. Most importantly, these projects have helped create a
positive atmosphere of responsible action and an awareness of what individuals and
communities can do to make a difference for a better Lake George.
Projects deal with stormwater management and runoff
control in stream
corridors and roadway corridors,
beach erosion and shoreline restoration, lake and pond
sedimentation, sediment removal, wetland enhancement, island restoration and
wastewater disposal.
In all cases, the cooperating
government agencies at the Town/Village, County and State levels have committed
substantial in-kind services and other resources to complete the proposed work.
LGA develops and submits grant
applications to finance Lake-Saving Projects. If you have an idea for a Lake–Saving
Project that you think LGA should consider, please contact the LGA’s
Lake
Saving Projects Coordinator.
