FULTON COUNTY Environmental groups are expressing their concerns about the environmental impacts of a 34-lot subdivision to be built around Woodward Lake in northern Fulton County as the Adirondack Park Agency prepares to consider a subdivision permit for the project.
The plans by New York Land and Lakes Development LLC of Oneonta call for building lots to be located around the perimeter of the 129-acre man-made impoundment, in a concept critics say doesn’t sufficiently protect the environment, or comply with cluster subdivision regulations the APA adopted in 2018.
