Land Area
Water Area
Land area is a measurement providing the size, in square miles, of the land portions of geographic entities for which the Census Bureau tabulates and disseminates data. Area is calculated from the specific boundary recorded for each entity in the Census Bureau's geographic database. Land area is based on current information in the TIGER® data base, calculated for use with Census 2010.
Water Area figures include inland, coastal, Great Lakes, and territorial sea water. Inland water consists of any lake, reservoir, pond, or similar body of water that is recorded in the Census Bureau's geographic database. It also includes any river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that is recorded in that database as a two- dimensional feature (rather than as a single line). The portions of the oceans and related large embayments (such as Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound), the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea that belong to the United States and its territories are classified as coastal and territorial waters; the Great Lakes are treated as a separate water entity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies of water are treated as inland water from the point beyond which they are narrower than 1 nautical mile across. Identification of land and inland, coastal, territorial, and Great Lakes waters is for data presentation purposes only and does not necessarily reflect their legal definitions.

Location Contact Information for Olympic Regional Development Authority Sites
data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2022-01-04T18:00:27.000ZThe New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) was originally created by the New York State legislature (Article 8, Title 28, NYS Public Authorities Law) to manage the facilities used during the 1980 Olympic Winter Games at Lake Placid. State and local governments cooperatively created a long-term solution to protect the public’s investment in the Lake Placid Olympic facilities through the establishment of ORDA. Today, ORDA operates Whiteface Mountain ski area located in the Town of Wilmington, just 15 minutes outside the Village of Lake Placid; Gore Mountain ski area located in North Creek, New York — 80 miles north of Albany; Belleayre Mountain located in Highmount, NY – 80 miles south of Albany; as well as the Olympic Center; the Olympic Jumping Complex and Olympic Sports Complex – all located in Lake Placid. As host to international and national championships, the Authority has brought millions of athletes and spectators to the regions it serves. New York State, the Department of Economic Development, and our local elected officials have developed an alliance, allowing ORDA and its surrounding communities to remain at the forefront of winter and summer sports training, competition, recreation, and tourism by investing in the modernization of these facilities. In turn, this allows us to become a strong partner with local and regional businesses in supporting and building the tourism industry throughout the State. This data set contains the location and contact information for all locations operated by ORDA. The data is organized by Resort and Information Type.

New York State Government Building Energy Use Intensity Data: Beginning State Fiscal Year 2010
data.ny.gov | Last Updated 2019-12-30T23:00:23.000ZThe Build Smart NY Program aims to increase energy efficiency of New York State government buildings. Build Smart NY was established by Executive Order 88 and mandates a reduction in energy consumption by 20% in government owned and operated buildings by 2020. Site utility data has been collected for all government buildings larger than 20,000 square feet and this has been converted to Source Energy Use Intensity (EUI) which is a ratio of Source Energy Use to gross square footage. The Source EUI will be used as a performance metric to achieve the 20% reduction targets. The dataset represents a baseline of Source EUI for New York State government buildings at the baseline year of SFI 2010/2011; subsequent reports will demonstrate a progression to achieving a 20% energy reduction target.
