Today Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed into law a bill sponsored by Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, that will allow the village of Clayton to finalize part the Clayton Riverwalk project.
"The Riverwalk project is an important step forward for the community's efforts to bolster its tourism industry and take advantage of the beauty of the St. Lawrewence River," Russell said. "I'm proud to have supported this legislation and look forward to continuing to work with the village in the future."
The law allows the village to transfer a small plot of land it owns to Dean Hyde in exchange for a crucial stretch of land along the St. Lawrence River that enables phase two of the Clayton Riverwalk project to move forward. The property is located along the shore of the St. Lawrence River across from the intersection of Merrick Street and Riverside Drive.
