Budget Highlights

The Adirondack Park Agency (APA), created in 1971, is charged with the broad mandate of insuring "the optimum overall conservation, protection, development and use of the unique scenic, aesthetic, wildlife, recreational, open space, ecological and natural resources of the Adirondack Park." In carrying out this mandate, the APA is responsible for administration of the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan and the Adirondack Park Private Land Use and Development Plan. In addition, the APA administers the State Freshwater Wetlands and Wild, Scenic and Recreational Rivers System Acts, operates two Visitor Interpretive Centers, and helps local governments develop land use plans consistent with the State Master Plan.

The APA is included in the Transportation, Economic Development and Environmental Conservation appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Executive proposes a General Fund appropriation of $4,177,000 for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2004-05, reflecting no change from SFY 2003-04.

The Executive also projects a $900,000 decrease in the appropriation for Special Revenue Funds Federal, which reflects the completion of enhancements to the Route 73 corridor as part of the New York State Scenic Byways program.

Aid To Localities

The Executive proposes local assistance funding of $50,000 from the General Fund to maintain the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board, the same amount proposed in SFY 2003-04. The Local Government Review Board monitors the activities of the APA and consists of representatives from the counties wholly or partly within the Park.
