       Maybe the single most important statement is about how the Canal
       is being revitalized & restored, all part of the Reimagine
       Canals program & new ownership by NYPA to make it a safe &
       lasting waterway.
       The state is looking to spend more money to promote the canal
       and make it a better resource for the canal communities. The
       canal’s new caretaker, the New York Power Authority, also has
       shown a commitment to improving the canal infrastructure,
       DeRoller said.
       Gov. Cuomo and the State Legislature have made money available
       for the canal communities in recent years for economic
       development projects. The Orleans communities have tapped few of
       those funds, partly because there isn’t a waterfront
       revitalization plan in place.
       Seems like the first order of business in trying to develop the
       canal waterfront is to clear the embankments and see what these
       Towns have to work with...a point understood by the Orleans Hub.
