Management
The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor Commission is a 27-member, community-based federal commission appointed by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, based primarily upon recommendations of the Governor of New York and the Corridor’s Congressional delegation. The Commission includes the U.S. Secretary of the Interior; seven New York State agency representatives including the New York State Canal Corporation; 11 members recommended by the members of Congress whose districts encompass the Corridor; 2 members recommended by the New York U. S. Senators; and 6 at-large community representatives who live in any county constituting the Corridor, with one member who has knowledge and experience of the New York State Canal Recreationway Commission. Commission appointments were announced in April 2002. Commission meetings are held at least quarterly and are open to the public.
The National Park Service provides a full-time executive director and professional staff to assist with implementing the Commission's goals of preserving the Erie Canalway Corridor's resources and enhancing educational and recreational opportunities in the corridor's communities. The National Park Service also supports the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor initiatives with its internationally recognized planning and marketing experience.
