Click on the community name in the table below to access PDF files of the approved Local Waterfront Revitalization Programs (LWRP), which are grouped by Regional Economic Development Council.
Each community prepares its LWRP in partnership with the New York State Department of State (DOS), and in accordance with the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act (NYS Executive Law, Article 42). With local adoption and approval by the New York State Secretary of State, the LWRP serves to coordinate local and State actions needed to achieve the community’s goals for its waterfront. For coastal communities, the incorporation of the LWRP into the New York State Coastal Management Program (CMP), also serves to coordinate federal actions needed to achieve the community’s goals for its waterfront.
