MANLIUS — Green Lakes State Park will receive $5.2 million from New York state for five improvement projects, including building a new park entrance, office, and police station.
The money is part of more than $92 million in funding that Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced Tuesday would advance 69 projects to improve and repair 53 state parks and historic sites across New York. This marks the third year of the New York Works initiative to revitalize New York’s State park system to support recreational and tourism opportunities.
The funds going to Green Lakes State Park will also fund improvements at Pine Wood Campground, park trails, the park’s sewage-treatment plant, and its golf-course clubhouse and pro shop.
Regarding the statewide park improvements, Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Commissioner Rose Harvey said in a news release, “Not only will this investment continue to make much needed repairs in cherished State Parks large and small, the Governor’s 21st century transformation of our park system will enhance our environment, preserve our heritage, connect people with healthy, active outdoor recreation, and rev the engines of local economies,”
