The Essex County Department of Motor Vehicles satellite office in Lake Placid is closed until May 2023 because the DMV is struggling to find staff to keep the office open. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports both the Lake Placid and Ticonderoga DMV satellite offices are closed — both due to staffing issues, according to the Essex County DMV website — leaving the Elizabethtown DMV as the county’s only open DMV.
