A 7615 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Designates the Scajaquada heritage area

This bill designates the Scajaquada heritage area as an official state heritage area under New York's parks and historic preservation law. It specifically defines the area as the cohesive geographic region in Buffalo surrounding Scajaquada Creek. The bill does not create new programs or funding but formally recognizes this local area for preservation and historic significance. It directly affects Buffalo's local historic identity and future planning within the designated geographic boundary. The measure is procedural, adding the area to the state's list of designated heritage areas without altering existing laws or policies.
