But to pay the enormous debt it incurred and the $1 million in annual property taxes, the group will, in the near term,  have to sell some portion of the property to private owners. While those buyers will not be allowed to build on the land, they will be able to keep out the public. Some small parcels near existing hamlets might even be sold for housing or commercial development, Mr. Carr said. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/29/nyregion/29adirondacks.html?_r=1&em&ex=1193803200&en=a45f5b3798d03eca&ei=5087%0A&oref=slogin"><P>Mr. Carr expects his decisions about which parcels to sell and to whom will anger as many people as they excite. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/29/nyregion/29adirondacks.html?_r=1&em&ex=1193803200&en=a45f5b3798d03eca&ei=5087%0A&oref=slogin"><P>“This is not a throw-the-gates-open-to-the-public kind of acquisition,” Mr. Carr said. A team of scientists is now conducting a rapid ecological assessment of the land.
