Downtown Saranac Lake
Downtown Saranac Lake
Saranac Lake is an authentically Adirondack and decidedly different community with deep ties to its historic past and abundant opportunities for the future. The Village has a distinct urban core, nestled among the picturesque Adirondack Mountains with a walkable downtown which offers a vibrant arts and cultural community, a variety of local businesses, shops and restaurants all with easy access to some of the most sought-after recreational resources in the Northeast.

Downtown Revitalization Initiative
In 2018 the Village of Saranac Lake was selected to receive $10 million in planning and implementation funding through the New York State Downtown Revitalization Initiative – becoming the first community in the Adirondack Park to win the competition.
FCEDC provided technical assistance and expertise to support the successful effort. The Village’s DRI Strategic Investment Plan was released in 2019 and 10 projects were awarded implementation funding.
