State to protect 260,000 Adirondack acres
Albany, New York - Nearly 260,000 acres of Adirondack wilderness owned by a major paper manufacturer will be permanently protected from development - and much of it will be opened to recreation - under a deal announced Thursday with the state.
The land, spread over nine counties, is owned by International Paper Co., which agreed never to sell the land for development in exchange for tax breaks.
