Our Unique Position
 

  • Provide a critical link that unites communities and assets along the 524-mile Corridor under a strong, recognized brand.
     
  • Leverage financial resources and focus public and private investment to advance the entire region.
     
  • Draw international and national attention to New York’s legendary canal corridor.
     
  • Share expertise, innovative ideas, and resources to support people who are working to preserve and enhance Corridor assets and local economies.
     
  • Bring diverse partners together to implement projects with a broad, Corridor-wide scope, achieving bigger results than any single organization could achieve alone.
