Mission

The Adirondack Park Agency’s (APA) 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 recommendation of $4.8 million for APA decreases funding by $419,000 below FY 2016 levels. This decrease is the result of a transfer to the Office of Information Technology Services for centralized support of technology-related initiatives and operational solutions.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 54 FTEs for the Agency in FY 2017, unchanged from FY 2016 levels.
