OBJECTIVE 3
Promote an outdoor recreation economy and ecotourism
Promote an outdoor recreation economy and ecotourism
Rural communities in southwestern New York have access to beautiful waterways and forests that, if carefully protected, can offer city dwellers from Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Cleveland a unique vacation and outdoor adventure experience. Collaborative efforts will help to maximize these offerings.
