A Schroon Lake legend, Stewart’s Alana Clark, bid colleagues and customers a fond farewell last week. After an amazing 30 year plus career, many of them as store manager, Alana is looking forward to some downtime with family. Company reps were on hand to say goodbye and lucky customers were treated to delicious cake.

On each visit with Alana behind the counter, you were was always greeted with a smile (pre-Covid masks). A career spanning 30 years is remarkable. Doing it all in one location is phenomenal.

Congrats Alana.

Supercharged Schroon: Could New EV Stations Entice Visitors?

Schroon Lake is now home to four new electronic vehicle (EV) charging stations.

The units – which  are compatible with all EV brands -- are installed at the Sunoco Station on Route 9, near the Route 74 intersection.

The four chargers are considered “super chargers” and are referred to as “non-proprietary,”  meaning they can power any fully electric vehicle with fast charge capability. Many EV stations can only be used by Teslas.

The new units join the first EV station installed at Trail Break at Schroon Lake, which we reported on in June 2019. Read about it by clicking here.

The announcement was made last  week by the New York Power Authority. (NYPA).

In a statement the NYPA said  the location is significant “as the Olympic region looks ahead to the World University Games in 2023 as sustainability and zero emission vehicles will be a key component of the event”.

Schroon Lake Town Supervisor Jeff Subra welcomed the news.

“We appreciate the progressive thought process that went into the decision to participate in the EVolve NY program. We are thrilled that the Schroon Lake Sunoco Station will be a host site adding this green energy source to the North Country Corridor,” Subra said in a statement.

“The versatility to rapidly charge any type of electric vehicle will undoubtedly increase the demand and use of this technology in the greater Schroon Lake community and provide for travelers throughout the Adirondacks.”
