The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Ortt says this is needed

New York's inland waterways are among the state's most valuable environ- mental and economic resources, offering diverse natural, recreational, ecological, cultural, and aesthetic benefits. One such resource is Salmon Creek, located in Monroe County. Designating Salmon Creek as an official inland waterway will enable nearby municipalities to become eligible for New York State's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) grants. These grants provide critical funding for planning and implementing land use, conservation, and watershed management initiatives that protect water quality, enhance public access, and support sustainable community development.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
