Freedom!!!! Yes!!!!! Thank you to everyone! We stopped the casino! Dear Martin, It is with tremendous excitement and great relief that I can share some fantastic news. New Yorks Gaming Facility Location Board has rejected the Sterling Forest Resort casino development near Tuxedo due, in part, to its detrimental environmental impacts. Because the proposed location is surrounded by Sterling Forest State Park and was very close to and within clear sight of the Appalachian Trail, we strongly support this recommendation to the New York Gaming Commission. As I reflect back on the last few months, I am extraordinarily proud of ATC and the many other organizations who came together in a collective voice to say No to this proposal. Specifically, I would like to thank the hard working and dedicated team at the NY/NJ Trail Conference whose work was instrumental in defeating this proposed development. Whether you donated money, attended meetings, made phone calls, wrote letters, spread the word through social media or did anything else to support our efforts I wish to say simply, thank you. Because of our collective hard work, no casino will be built near Sterling Forest State Park. Sincerely, Ron Tipton Executive Director/CEO The Appalachian Trail Conservancy exists solely to preserve and protect the Appalachian Trail. We stand as the guardians between the Trail and those who seek to harm it. The Trail is safer today, because of the collective voice of our 43,000 members and those of numerous other individuals and conservation organizations who stood tall with us against Genting Corporation.
