Blueprint for the Blue Line
Since 2008, the Common Ground Alliance has brought stakeholders together to foster open communication, seek collaborative solutions, and set the stage for constructive action. We are working toward collective impact: the commitment of Adirondackers — including those in government, nonprofit, and the business sector — to coordinate their efforts and find a common agenda for solving complex problems. Together we develop a shared vision and strategies for the whole Adirondack Park in order to communicate with one voice. The result is our annual Blueprint for the Blue Line.
