BILL NUMBER:S5534
Title of bill
An act to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in relation to expanding the Susquehanna Heritage Area
Purpose or general idea of bill
To expand the Susquehanna Heritage Area to include all of Broome & Tioga Counties.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1: Amends paragraph (h) of subdivision I of section 35.03 of the parks, recreation, and historic preservation law to expand the Susquehanna Heritage Area to include all of Broome and Tioga Counties.
Justification
The Susquehanna Heritage Area Management Plan Amendment represents a major achievement for historic, cultural and recreational planning in the Southern Tier. Since its inception as an urban cultural park in 1982, the Susquehanna Heritage Area (SHA) has been a statewide leader in promoting stewardship and appreciation of historical and cultural resources in the original three communities (Binghamton, Johnson City, and Endicott). It has developed numerous education and cultural programs, sponsored National Register nominations, and secured ants. In expanding the area to include all of Broome and Tioga Counties, the SHA has taken a more inclusive approach to regional history and extended the benefits of its knowledge and expertise to a number of smaller, rural communities that have not yet had much involvement with preservation planning or with state and federal preservation programs. The SHA's expertise will be extremely valuable partnership in these communities.
