Two residents raised concerns about short-term rentals and a lack of affordable housing during public comment at the Village of Tupper Lake Board of Trustees meeting on Dec. 16, 2024. Denise Devirgeles and Tina Baldwin told trustees they are worried about where short-term rentals are located and about the availability of housing that local residents can afford.
Mayor Mary Fontana responded that the village is "in the process of finalizing regulations surrounding short-term rentals but is waiting for a drafted Local Law to be adopted." The board did not take formal action on the topic at this meeting; Mayor Fontana framed it as an item under active review and regulation drafting.
