The plan, presented by LPAA Chairperson Lori Fitzgerald to the Lake Placid Village Board of Trustees, comes as officials consider relocating two sculptures created for the 1980 Olympic Winter Games. The Olympic Center on Main Street, which is operated by the state Olympic Regional Development Authority, is currently being renovated and two sculptures on the property, James Buchman’s “Vans for Ruth” and Carl Nesjar’s “Sonja Henie Ice Fountain,” are expected to be relocated elsewhere. It’s unclear who owns the sculptures now, or who would own and maintain them once they’re moved, Fitzgerald told the board

Griffin Kelly) SARANAC LAKE Patrick Murphy is stepping down from his role as executive director of the Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce at the end of the month. He will start his own private venture as a business consultant, and the chamber is looking for a successor to replace him at the helm. Murphy has led the chamber since the fall of 2018. Last summer, he resigned from the Saranac Lake village board to spend more time on his chamber position. He said he wanted to give the chamber his full attention. Murphy said he is leaving the chamber “in a strong, stable position” and believes that with a three-year strategic plan it developed last year, “it will only continue to grow and expand its reach.”
