Finger Lakes National Heritage Area Act

HR 5954 designates the Finger Lakes region in 14 New York counties (Cayuga, Chemung, Cortland, Livingston, Monroe, Onondaga, Ontario, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins, Wayne, and Yates) as a National Heritage Area. It establishes the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance as the local managing entity and requires a management plan for the area within three years. Federal funding for the area would end 15 years after the bill's enactment, as specified in the National Heritage Area System.
