Local Waterfront Revitalization Program
First designated in 2002, a new land and water strategy for the Village of Athens’ waterfront revitalization area is being developed under a grant provided by New York State Department of State (DOS). The Village will build consensus on waterfront projects and use the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) as a central implementation tool and framework for waterfront use. Athens’ LWRP will capitalize on opportunities to enhance the waterfront experience in the village for residents, workforce and visitors.
