LAKE GEORGE The two main organizations looking to protect the Lake George environment will be merging forces, citing the various environmental threats facing the internationally renown lake in the southern Adirondacks.
The Lake George Association and Fund for Lake George have voted to merge, operating under the Lake George Association name, the groups announced Thursday. The boards of both organizations have approved, though the membership of the LGA, most of them property owners around the lake, still must have a vote.
“We have one beautiful and beloved lake, and now we will have one voice and one powerful force for action to protect it,” said Jeff Killeen, chairman of the Fund for Lake George.
