Jane Clark and the Clark Foundation own the Hall of Fame property, the Otsega Hotel and many other pieces of prime real estate. However, in my experience in 35 years of visiting and 12 years of having a summer home there, I can tell you that most of the locals think Ms. Clark is terrific. She has helped to control development around the lake keeping thousands of acres in their natural state. She supports many local causes and gives tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships to local students. Any locals who think she is a bad influence in the village do not know what they are talking about.
