WATERFORD — Seven education and recreation projects will get off the ground this year with funding support from the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor.
The grants are aimed at “inspiring people to learn more” about New York’s “legendary canals” and further explore the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, according to a Corridor news release.
The grants range from $2,000 to $7,000 and are leveraging an additional $77,231 in private and public project support.
“While large investments often draw the greatest attention, small projects are adding up to big results for communities and the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor as a whole,” Bob Radliff, executive director of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, said in the release.
Over the past 10 years, the Corridor says it has made 69 small grants to communities and nonprofit organizations that have spurred $1.67 million in additional investments in heritage preservation, recreation, and education.
The 2018 Erie Canalway grant award in the Central New York region is in Madison County, which received $7,000 to conduct a feasibility study for four potential hand-launch sites for paddlers along the Old Erie Canal State Park between the Town of DeWitt and Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum in Chittenango.
Down the road in the greater Mohawk Valley region, Montgomery County received $7,000 to develop an app for use along the Erie Canalway Trail through Montgomery County to share stories of the people and history of the Mohawk Valley, the release stated.
