SARANAC LAKE Lake Placid’s Greg Borzilleri will not be heading to Florida for a short vacation after all, at least not for now. The decision came after his early morning Cape Air flight to Boston Wednesday, March 3 turned around after 10 minutes and made a safe emergency landing at the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear. He was one of two passengers on the flight and was heading to Miami. His flight was canceled Tuesday due to high winds, but now after Wednesday’s incident, he plans on staying in the Adirondacks.
