Statement from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo

Statement

"The Adirondack Park is one of New York's great natural jewels and a driver of the North Country's economy, and never should have been used as a glorified junk yard. The Berkshire Hathaway's Union Tank Car Company ultimately did the right thing by heeding our call to remove these eyesores from the Adirondack Park.

"In the wake of this important victory for New Yorkers, it is imperative that the Iowa Pacific Co. halt their plan to store thousands of railcars once and for all. This administration has already called on them to cease and desist storing any future railcars on the Tahawus Branch.

"I have made it very clear that we will not stand by and allow it to be used as a dumping ground, and we are prepared to exhaust all legal options to end this practice and keep the constitutionally protected Adirondacks forever wild."
