DELLA Honda in Plattsburgh

Feb 1, 2017

You may be familiar with Frontier Town in North Hudson, NY, or if you’re old enough, you may remember visiting the western theme park! The abandoned park has been closed since 1999, but New York State has just announced a major plan to revitalize the area and create the “Gateway to the Adirondacks,” a new world-class destination for tourists. The Governor announced it will be investing nearly $2.8 million into the project and hopes to create jobs for the area.

Gateway to the Adirondacks will include:

  • A campground and day use area along the Schroon River
  • Equestrian camping and trail riding area
  • Adirondack Park Visitor Information Center
  • Event center with tourist accommodations
  • Interactive exhibits in historic structures highlighting the past, present, and future of the Adirondack forest products and local food industries
  • Adirondack craft beer experience at Paradox Brewery

“The Gateway to the Adirondacks will be a world-class tourism hub at a strategic location to attract new visitors to the Adirondack Park and drive economic growth in the North Country,” Governor Cuomo said. “The Master Plan, developed with key community partners, builds on our comprehensive efforts to protect the Adirondack Park while attracting tourists to experience the wide array of outstanding recreation options this region has to offer.”

Construction for Gateway to the Adirondacks isn’t expected to begin until 2019, but keep an eye out for more details on the DELLA Honda in Plattsburgh blog!
