What is the Oneonta LWRP?

 

The City and Town of Oneonta are developing a joint Local Waterfront Revitalization Program to establish community goals and strategies for future development of the Susquehanna River and its tributaries. The LWRP will focus on developing Oneonta's waterfront resources in a sustainable manner, creating recreational opportunities, preserving historic architecture, and redeveloping underutilized sites. 



An LWRP is a comprehensive land and water use program developed by local municipalities under the authorization of the NYS Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act.

 

The Program defines a vision for a community’s waterfront, identifies specific projects and policies to encourage environmental protections, foster economic development, and improve public access to the waterfront, and outlines implementation techniques to achieve that vision.

​

The Oneonta LWRP will gather input from stakeholders and the general public including residents, property owners, business owners, and community organizations as outlined in the Community Participation Plan.
