NY state parks receive $2M for upgrades and maintenance

COLTON, N.Y. (WCAX) - A nearly $2 million grant will be spent on maintaining New York state parks and trails, including some accessibility upgrades across the state.

Gov. Kathy Hochul says the money will support 28 not-for-profit organizations and new projects like beautification, accessible kayak launches, bridge repairs and education.

In the North Country, nearly $46,000 will be spent by the Friends of Higley Flow State Park on an ADA-accessible kayak launch and gangway approach.
