Senate passes Valesky bill to designate Cazenovia Lake and Chittenango Creek as inland waterways
The state Senate June 4 passed legislation sponsored by Sen. David J. Valesky (D – Oneida) that would add Cazenovia Lake and Chittenango Creek to the definition of inland waterway. This designation would allow municipalities located along those waterways to apply for waterfront revitalization funding.
“This bill help protect these natural resources as well as provide opportunities for funding and grant resources,” Valesky said.
The bill passed the Assembly April 25. It now awaits delivery to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for his signature.
