ALBANY-Westchester’s parks as well as cultural and historic sites will benefit from $1.2 million in funding. Over $33 million for nearly 200 projects has been provided since 1995. The funding comes from the Clean Water, Clean Air Bond Act and the Environmental Protection Fund.

Historic Hudson Valley will receive $500,000 to physically link and visually integrate historic sites and parkland along the Hudson River, including properties of Sunnyside, Lyndhurst, the Old Croton Aqueduct State Historic Park, and a newly created county park in the town of Greenburgh. The integration will unite 67 acres of Lyndhurst and the 37 acres of the proposed county park with the 24 acres of Sunnyside and the 26.2 mile Old Croton Aqueduct State Park.

Award money will also be used to create an entrance through Sunnyside to the new county park, as well as development of a new two-way access road; creation of a new path system from the parking lot to the visitors center; maintenance of historic paths north of the Sunnyside pond; and construction of footbridges on the riverside trail.
