Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to adding Black Creek located in Monroe county to the definition of inland waterways
Purpose
Designates Black Creek located in Monroe County as an inland waterway
Summary of provisions
Section 1 - amends paragraph (c) of subdivision 4 of section 911 of the Executive Law by adding Black Creek, located in Monroe County, to the definition of "inland waterways."
Section 2 - contains the effective date.
Justification
The headwaters of Black Creek begin in northern Wyoming County, and flow through Genesee and Monroe Counties to finally end at the Genesee River. The creek flows through Genesee County Park and Forest, Churchville County Park, Black Creek Park and Union Park Station, as well as numerous communities. It plays a particularly important role in the history and current life of the residents in the Village of Churchville. By defining Black Creek as an inland waterway, the municipalities, communities and organizations along its banks will be eligible for Department of State and Environmental Protection Fund waterfront revitalization grants. The communities along the bank of this creek were originally settled in part because of the transportation and water power that was offered by this waterway. The opportunity to apply for and possibly receive grant monies is of considerable importance to the revitalization efforts of waterside communities.
