Organization Goals

guarantees access to the Adirondacks.”

Comments
Founded in 1990, the Fairness Coalition has no paid staff and relies entirely on volunteers. The focus of the Coalition has been on legislative proposals for the Adirondacks. It was very influential during the period of the Twenty-First Century Commission controversy. It continues to participate in Adirondack issues as an organization, and is available to comment on proposed legislation.
Champlain Valley Heritage Corridor Project: In March 2000, the Fairness Coalition officially commented in opposition to the National Park Service proposal (accompanying a major study) to Congress for a new Champlain Valley Heritage Corridor Project.
