Adirondack Park Agency

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 $5.1 million for the Agency, a decrease of $500,600 from the 2012-13 budget. The decrease primarily reflects the elimination of the capital appropriation for the Agency.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 54 FTEs for the Agency in 2013-14. This staffing level reflects the transfer of one FTE to the Office of Information Technology Services and one FTE to the Business Service Center in 2012-13.

Major budget actions include:

The elimination of the capital appropriation for the Agency. The Adirondack Park Agency has $1.5 million available in capital reappropriations.
The continuation of actions to improve overall efficiency and reduce administrative costs for the Agency.
