He says the idea is pretty much off the table because the homes at risk are spread out in Glen Falls so turning the plots back into wetlands is not feasible and a fullscale relocation is just too costly.
He adds the city will continue its efforts to prevent flooding. An environmental impact assessment is planned next year at Mystery Lake for flood relief infrastructure. The city will examine the feasibility of constructing detention reservoirs at Kelly Lake and Ashburn Lake.
Glen Falls resident Blair Glazier, who can't get flood insurance, liked the relocation option and is disappointed that it is no longer an option. Crystal Lockerbie is with the Glen Falls Community Committee and says those people who want to stay aren't looking for a miracle.
