Mission
The Adirondack Park Agency’s mission is to protect the public and private resources of the Adirondack Park through the exercise of the powers and duties provided by law. This mission is rooted in three statutes administered by the Agency in the Park; they are:
- The Adirondack Park Agency Act;
- The New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act; and
- The New York State Wild, Scenic, and Recreational Rivers System Act.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $5.7 million for the Agency, a decrease of $105,000 from the 2011-12 budget. The decrease primarily reflects reductions taken for the CSEA and PEF collective bargaining agreements reached in 2011.
The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 56 FTEs for the Agency, the same level that was funded in the 2011-12 budget.
Major budget actions include:
- The continuation of actions to improve overall efficiency and reduce administrative costs for the Agency, resulting in a 2.3 percent reduction in General Fund spending.
