• Town board taking steps leading to battery storage, data center bans; lifts town job residency requirement (dailygazette.com) — Tupper Lake's town board is moving toward temporary bans on new battery storage systems and data centers, while also advancing a new noise control law limiting construction hours. The board has already approved a law allowing qualified nonresidents from nearby towns to fill appointed positions, aiming to ease hiring challenges without changing local taxes or zoning rules. 
• 2026's 11 Best Small Towns To Visit In The Adirondack Mountains (worldatlas.com) — Tupper Lake gets a prime spotlight as one of the Adirondacks' best small towns to visit, thanks to easy hikes on the Tupper Lake Triad, waterfront relaxation at Raquette Pond, and swimming at Little Wolf Beach. The piece also praises the Adirondack Sky Center's free stargazing events, positioning Tupper Lake as a standout destination for both outdoor adventure and night-sky viewing.
• Near-peak and peak foliage arriving in the Adirondacks (adirondackexplorer.org) — Expect near-peak to peak fall colors in Tupper Lake this coming weekend, with especially vibrant reds, oranges, and golds reported around town. The statewide foliage report says the Adirondacks, including nearby Saranac Lake and Long Lake, are leading New York's color change, so this is a prime time for local drives, hikes, and photos.
