Please let us be heard in Albany – An open letter to the governor’s office

May 21, 2020

These last 2 months have presented us all with challenges that at time have felt insurmountable. As an outdoor recreational activity, our hope is that we can provide you with some much needed mental and physical enjoyment and relief. We have worked closely with health experts to make changes to our business plan that will provide a safe environment for our guests. Our plan can be found here.

While we applaud the Governor for all of his hard work, unfortunately we, as a small business in a unique category, have fallen through the cracks. The Governor’s opening plan has acknowledged the importance of recreation from the outset. His definition of essential recreation has expanded over the last several weeks and now includes outdoor, low-risk recreational activities so long as social distancing and cleaning/disinfecting measures are in place. At this point, the only outdoor activities specifically not permitted are team sports. Our State Assemblyman Steve Otis, our State Senator Shelley Mayer, and our County Executive George Latimer have all expressed support for our opening. We need your help as well. If we remain closed much longer, it will be hard to come back from this setback.

We are therefore asking you to call 518-474-8390 or send an email of support via the portal.

The message we would like you to send is: I am a customer of Boundless Adventures in Purchase and support their application to reopen. Their operation plan fully satisfies the definition of low-risk outdoor recreation. The Boundless Adventures program provides individuals a great experience. Please approve their application to reopen.

Please help us to be heard.

Sincerely,
Brian and Lorrie Funtleyder
Owners – Boundless Adventures
