Questions
Questions people ask first
Where an answer depends on a document the board has not yet adopted, that is said plainly rather than left blank.
A New York State local development corporation under section 1411 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law, incorporated on 20 September 2018. Its mission, adopted by the board on 2 September 2026, is to provide leadership and support responsible economic growth throughout the Thousand Islands and North Country Region of New York.
A board of directors. Members, the appointing entity, terms and professional background are listed on the Board of Directors page. Joel Bartlett is chairperson.
1 July to 30 June, as set by the Amended and Restated By-laws adopted on 2 September 2026. That puts the Public Authorities Law §2800 annual report within 90 days of 30 June — on or about 28 September.
The previous site published the corporation as “Thousand Islands Local Development Corporation”. The Certificate of Incorporation, posted on the About the LDC page, names it 1000 Islands Regional Local Development Corporation.
The Authorities Budget Office sets it out in Policy Guidance 25‑02. 23 of its items apply here. Every one is listed on the compliance page with the law behind it and how long it must stay posted.
Under the Freedom of Information Law. The corporation has not yet designated a records access officer, so requests should go to the chairperson at j.bartlett@1000islandsLDC.com until one is named. Designating an officer is itself an outstanding item.
Because the underlying document has not been adopted or has not been supplied. Those are recorded as outstanding rather than hidden — 9 of 23 items are outstanding today. The compliance page lists each one.
It is built to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which the ADA Title II web rule requires of public entities of this size by 26 April 2028. Contrast and heading structure are verified automatically and a failure stops the build. See the accessibility statement.
The schedule, notices and agendas are published on the Board & Meetings page. Where a schedule has not yet been adopted for the coming year, that is shown there as outstanding.
Yes. The Open Meetings Law applies, which requires notice in advance and access for the public, and requires that records scheduled for discussion be made available on request.
