The City of Saratoga Springs, the towns of Stillwater, Saratoga and possibly Malta, will apply for a grant through the Hudson River Valley Greenway Planning Grant Program, for a project known as Saratoga Lake Dock Management Feasibility Study.

The $30,000 grant will be matched at $10,000 each by the localities for a total $70,000 to cover a feasibility study for more than just docks.

“It’s a study of the shoreline,” said Cristina Connolly, the executive director of the Saratoga Lake Protection and Improvement District.

“We’re at a tipping point here, with the weather and development around the lake,” she said.
