Menter Family Add Depe Dene Resort to Lake George Portfolio

Written by Kate Haggerty on January 9, 2023. Posted in Business, Featured, Property.

Depe Dene – a 39-acre seasonal resort located at 3494 Lakeshore Drive – was acquired by husband and wife team Jess Ferguson and Chris Menter for $11.4 million in the closing days of 2022; this acquisition was financed with a mortgage through Glens Falls National Bank. Located three miles north of Lake George Village, this lake front property was part of the estate of Ken Erminger. Mr. Erminger passed away in October of 2021, after having operated Depe Dene for 45 years.

Depe Dene adds to the Menter family’s portfolio in the Lake George area – Chris’s parents Dave and Theresa Menter purchased Scotty’s Lakeside resort in 2014, and Chris and his family recently purchased the Lakefront Terrace Resort for $7.4 million. The couple also own The Juliana Resort in Bolton, which they purchased in 2018 for $2.9 million.

“We are going to revive and revitalize the property itself and operate like our other properties, which has been effective” Ferguson reportedly said.

Depe Dene has a five-story, 12,000 square foot mansion, more than 700 feet of waterfront, and 84 rental units. The property has a variety of accommodations, which range from lakeview motel efficiencies, one and two-bedroom beach suites, lakefront and forest town houses, and cottages. The mansion which was built by Captain D.S. Denison has 11 bedrooms and eight bathrooms, and can sleep up to 24 people.

Depe Dene was one of the most valuable assets in the Erminger estate, which also has other properties around Lake George and in Syracuse which still have yet to be sold; amongst these properties is a 3.3 acre property at the tip of Copper’s Point on Lake George.

Common mistakes while enrolling can result in late enrollment penalties, higher out-of-pocket costs, and gaps in coverage.

Glens Falls Water and Sewer Bills Mailed Out

Written by Kate Haggerty on January 9, 2023. Posted in Community, Featured, Local Leads.

The City of Glens Falls has sent out the quarterly water and sewer bill which reflects the last three months of 2022. These payments are due by February 16, 2023; after that date, a late payment fee will be incurred. These payments can be made by mail, online, on the city’s website (cityofglensfalls.com), or in person at City Hall. To pay in person, either bring the payment to the comptroller’s office, or place the payment in the after-hours drop box located outside of the front door at city hall.

Failure to receive a bill does not relieve the customer of their responsibility to pay. Customers can find current balance information on the city’s website. There are programs available to assist low income families – The Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) is a new drinking water and wastewater emergency assistance program funded through New York State. The amount of assistance is based on the amount of unpaid water and sewer bills owed by the applicant, and uses a similar structure to the Home Energy Assistance program. For more information, visit otda.ny.gov/LIH

There will be a 5% increase in the water bill, which took effect January 1, 2023; this increase on average is $0.10 per day, and approximately $0.74 per week. This is based on an average of 20,000 gallons of water, and will be reflected in the next billing cycle.
