SARATOGA COUNTY – Not all of Saratoga County is as bustling as Clifton Park or Saratoga Springs.

Take the four towns in the northwest corner of the county, for example. Spread through the rugged hills and valleys surrounding Great Sacandaga Lake, the communities of Corinth, Hadley, Day and Edinburg never had more than a couple of thousand residents, even when they were self-sufficient Adirondack mill towns. In the 21st century, some of them have lost population.

But rather than accept a status quo of decline, those towns are working together to appeal for new residents from among those people adjusting to a post-COVID world, with the idea that they could live in a beautiful rural location, and still be within a reasonable drive of urban cultural amenities and high-quality jobs at companies like GlobalFoundries and General Electric.

“We live where a lot of people want to take vacations, so it’s nice,” said Hadley Town Supervisor Arthur “Mo” Wright.
