Guest Commentary I read John Salamy’s letter in the Tupper Lake Free Press on Dec. 29. John’s letter was well written and raised some good concerns as regards the proposal here in Tupper Lake by a group of businessmen and community members. The plan comes in four phases, focus is on the first phase for now. It involves purchasing (1) Big Tupper Ski Area, (2) connecting snowmobile trails throughout town, (3) turning the James C. Frenette Sr. cross-country ski trails into year-round trails, (4) building 10 miles of mountain biking trails near Rock Island Bay at the south end of Tupper Lake, and (5) irrigating the lower six holes of the Tupper Lake Golf Course. Total estimated cost is $928,000. Personally, I believe that all five5 proposed projects are worthwhile for our town. Some of these very same proposals were discussed by the town board in the late 1990s and very early 2000s.
