Reimagine the Canals Initiative Grows

Building on the success of the Reimagine the Canals Competition, which sought innovative ideas that capitalize on the Canal’s strengths, Governor Cuomo created the Reimagine the Canals Task Force. The Reimagine the Canals Task Force examined how the historic Erie Canal system could be redeveloped to become a more vital force for boosting local economies, inspiring new forms of recreation and tourism, and strengthening environmental resiliency both now and in the decades to come.
