Canal Bill Passes the Legislature

The League is thrilled to share that Senator May and Assemblymember Buttenschon’s bills to ensure regular quarterly meetings of the Canal Recreationway Commission have passed the Senate and Assembly! Thank you to the Senator and Assemblymember, as well as the large bipartisan group of legislators who supported this bill. The Preservation League believes this new legislation will establish consistency and give the Commission the tools to focus on important future planning efforts to support our Canal System and chart a new path forward, supporting our National Historic Landmark Canal System’s ability to leverage the economic benefits of tourism, recreation, and commercial use now and into the future. We were proud to support it!
