"Priority Project Status"

Those three little words mean so much today.  I submitted a grant request in August through the North Country Regional Economic Development Council (NCREDC) for funds from New York State.  The NCREDC released the list of projects that were awarded this coveted status.  Inn "at" Schroon Lake was one of them.  My understanding is that the chance of actually being awarded funding increased with that designation.  Still have to wait until December to hear what, if any, funding is available.  But it's heartening to know that all that work to put together the business plan, aka grant request, was productive.

Also great news is that Seagle Music Colony received Priority Project Status for their Campus Improvement and Centennial Celebration projects!
