Bill > A00266

This bill amends the executive law to add Doodletown Brook in Rockland County to the list of inland waterways eligible for the local waterfront revitalization program. The bill specifically modifies paragraph (c) of subdivision 4 of section 911 of the executive law, which previously listed 48 specific creeks, brooks, and waterways across various New York counties as part of this program. By inserting the phrase "and the Doodletown Brook located in Rockland county" into the existing list, the legislation expands the geographical scope of the local waterfront revitalization program. The local waterfront revitalization program is a state initiative that helps communities protect, enhance, and develop their coastal areas and waterfront resources. The bill's language suggests it will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing Rockland County to potentially access state resources and planning support for the Doodletown Brook area.
