Cassandra Van Cott

As an administrative professional in community development I have eight years of experience working in communities in the North Country to bring interested parties together to improve the quality of life for residents and visitors in our rural region. I have honed my skills in communication and organization through work done for the Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, the Village of Saranac Lake, and the Lake Champlain Lake George Regional Planning Board (LCLGRPB). For my role in each of these organizations, I focused on driving economic revitalization through internal planning, outreach to state and federal entities, and with targeted community roundtable discussions. I have experience in selecting and applying to grant funding sources for events, infrastructure, recreation improvements, streetscape enhancements, and the implementation of established community planning priorities. I am proud to have played a role in the revitalization of Saranac Lake and to have aided economic development efforts led by the LCLGRPB team.
