This project will increase access to the pedestrian trail from the waterfront at Mohawk Harbor with information and way finding signs to direct visitors to downtown attractions, events, restaurants and businesses, historic sites, and other points of interest. Evaluation/Analysis: The New York State Department of State Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP), Empire State Development and the New York State Canalway Grant Program allow municipalities to apply for funding as lead applicant for projects that increase economic development and enhance the quality of life in NYS communities. It appears that continued progress on the waterfront redevelopment project will drive further economic development.
