RAY BROOK, NY - The Adirondack Park Agency announces today that The Paul Smiths Visitor Interpretive Center will begin a transitional period pursuant to state budget mandates, effective October 10, 2010.
The Visitor Interpretive Center's main building will close to the public on October 10, 2010 to accommodate maintenance and transitional preparation work. New York State Adirondack Park Agency staff will continue to work at the main building but will no longer provide public interpretive programming or provide general information to visitors.
The outside trail system will remain open to the general public seven days a week. Rest room accommodations will be available Monday-Friday. Until further notice, the Paul Smiths Visitor Interpretive Center will offer these options.
During the transitional period, the Adirondack Park Agency will continue to explore alternatives for the potential reuse of the facility.
The mission of the Adirondack Park Agency is to protect the public and private resources of the Adirondack Park through the exercise of the powers and duties of the Agency as provided by law. For more information, call the APA at (518) 891-4050 or visit www.apa.state.ny.us.
