Budget Highlights

The FY 2018 Executive Budget recommends total General Fund appropriations of $321,000, the same level as FY 2017, to support the Council’s administration, technical assistance, and local planning grants programs.

The Executive Budget also recommends making a historic $200 million investment to develop fragmented stretches of the Hudson River Valley Greenway and Erie Canalway trails. Of this amount, $123 million will be provided to the Council as part of a plan to complete the trail network by 2020. Upon its completion, the Trail will be recognized as the largest multi-use trail network in the nation.
