The
New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Niagara
River Greenway Standing Committee (State Parks Standing Committee) has postponed
its meeting from Wednesday September 13, 2023 until October 1, 2023 at 11 a.m.
The meeting will take place in the Castellani Building at DeVeaux Woods State
Park, 3160 DeVeaux Woods Dr, Niagara Falls.
The State
Parks Standing Committee receives funds from New York Power Authority
(NYPA) as part of a settlement agreement related to the 50-year
license received by NYPA in 2007 for the operation of the Niagara Power
Project. In addition to the State Parks Standing
Committee, three other standing committees were created to disperse funds
those groups received in other settlement agreements with NYPA. The
other committees are: Greenway Ecological Standing Committee, Host
Community Greenway Fund Standing Committee and the Buffalo and Erie County
Greenway Fund Standing Committee.
The
Niagara River Greenway Commission is a public benefit corporation established
by Chapter 460 of the laws of 2004 and charged with the planning and
development of a greenway of interconnected parks, river access points and
waterfront trails along the Niagara River from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario at the
site of the historic Fort Niagara.
