RAY BROOK - The state Adirondack Park Agency will hold a public
hearing before determining how to preserve two mountaintop fire
towers.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation released a draft
unit management plan in October outlining the agency's proposal to
restore and allow for full public access to the Hurricane Mountain
Fire Tower Historic Area in the town of Keene and the St. Regis
Mountain Fire Tower Historic Area in the town of Santa Clara.

Both have been closed to the public since they were discontinued for
use as fire observation stations. The Hurricane Mountain tower was
closed in 1979 and the St. Regis Mountain tower in 1990.
