Bill > H3543

This bill establishes a designated "cultural highway" along a specific portion of State Highway Route 62, encompassing the towns of Hudson, Berlin, Clinton, Sterling, and Princeton. The purpose of this designation is to protect and preserve the unique economic, cultural, historical, agricultural, and scenic qualities found along this route and within these communities. The Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs will be responsible for defining the precise boundaries of this cultural highway and creating a program to safeguard its resources, which may involve implementing various types of restrictions such as conservation, preservation, agricultural preservation, and watershed preservation restrictions, as well as establishing historical districts.
