Valcour Philosophy
When innovative focused companies listen to their customers, anticipate their needs, and work closely with them to develop new products that solve real problems, extraordinary market opportunities emerge. Product companies must immerse themselves in the environment of their customers to inspire innovation. Breakthrough new products are revealed when companies leverage their direct customer and market knowledge, build on existing product reputation, and integrate current and emerging technology into their future products.
Valcour Community
Valcour Strategic Group is located in a quiet, historical lakeside community on Lake Champlain's Adirondack Coast of Clinton County, New York. Valcour Bay is the National Historic Site of the first US Navy Battle - the Battle of Valcour which dates back to October 11, 1776. Valcour Strategic Group operates out of historic "Schoolhouse #8" also known as the Valcour Stone Schoolhouse which was constructed in 1825 at the site of the British Gunboat Line in the Battle of Valcour. The Valcour Stone Schoolhouse is made of limestone rock that was hand quarried from Valcour Island. The building was originally used to house Methodist church services for two years prior to becoming the area's first single-room stone schoolhouse. The schoolhouse was in use until 1938 and served as many as 35 students at a time.
