Warren County leaders hope to allow public access to the Swede Mountain fire tower, which is on land that Warren County owns off Route 8 in Hague, just east of the Horicon town line. But the county’s property is surrounded by forestland owned by Lyme Adirondack Timberlands, which has asked for compensation to allow access to the property.

That price tag would have been $3,000 a year, paid through the county’s bed tax on hotel, motel and bed-and-breakfast rooms. But some supervisors took issue with the price last month and tabled a vote on the contract to seek a better deal.

Warren County Administrator Ryan Moore went back to Lyme, which agreed to cut the price to $2,500 per year for five years.
