County seeks $255,851 Silver Lake LWRP grant; dredging plan awaits DEC and SHPO approvals
Summary
The committee authorized moving forward on a New York State Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Phase II grant application for Silver Lake in a minimum amount of $255,851 to expand waterfront designation and update trail and congestion studies; dredging remains contingent on DEC and SHPO clearances and a 10-year permit was applied for.
The Planning Committee reviewed a grant acceptance and application to the New York State Department of State for the Silver Lake Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Phase II.
Minutes say the project—intended to help the towns of Castile and Perry and the Village of Perry expand waterfront designations, update the Silver Lake Trail Feasibility Study and conduct a conflict and congestion study—has a minimum project amount of $255,851. Permission to apply had previously been granted by the Planning Committee on May 28, 2025. The minutes also record a dredging update: as per NYS DEC, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) must sign off on field-identified options for land spreading; removing an access road from the plan could remove the SHPO requirement. The record notes a 10-year dredging permit has been applied for and that the DEC’s input is outstanding.
The committee recorded the grant item as a resolution referral with a recorded motion by Rudgers showing Ayes: 7 and McCormick absent; the motion is listed as carried in the minutes. The dredging approach and required state clearances remain outstanding matters requiring further agency action.
