Bill > S06903

This bill amends the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law by officially designating the Scajaquada heritage area as a state-recognized heritage area. Specifically, the bill adds a new paragraph to Section 35.03 of the law that defines the Scajaquada heritage area as a cohesive geographic region in the city of Buffalo surrounding and associated with Scajaquada Creek. Heritage areas are typically designated to recognize and protect regions with significant cultural, historical, or natural importance. By giving this official designation, the bill helps to formally acknowledge the historical and geographical significance of the Scajaquada Creek area in Buffalo, potentially supporting future conservation, historical preservation, or tourism efforts. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
