EXCITING NEWS!
The Town of Henderson is beyond thrilled to announce that we have been awarded monies, as part of a grant through the New York State Department of State’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP).
The LWRP is a competitive matching grant program available to eligible villages, towns, and cities located along New York State’s coasts. This program helps communities breathe new life into their waterfronts and underused assets while ensuring smart, sustainable, and successful revitalization.
The Town of Henderson has been awarded $101,250 to prepare a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program for our waterfront area along Lake Ontario. This is the beginning of a guided plan for future development in our town—one that focuses on ecological protection, resiliency, tourism enhancement, and so much more.
This grant marks just the first step toward many exciting opportunities ahead for our town we call home.
A huge thank you to the Town of Henderson Board for working tirelessly to make this possible. We are still in the early stages of the process and will share updates as they become available, including more information at the January Town Board Meeting.
Great things are coming from your Town of Henderson!
