Finger Lakes National Heritage Area Act

This bill designates the Finger Lakes region in 14 New York counties (Cayuga, Chemung, Cortland, Livingston, Monroe, Onondaga, Ontario, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins, Wayne, and Yates) as a National Heritage Area. It names the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance as the local coordinating entity responsible for managing the area and requires them to submit a management plan to the Interior Secretary within 3 years. Federal assistance for the area will end 15 years after the bill's enactment, per standard National Heritage Area provisions. The bill creates no new taxes or regulations but formalizes a framework for preserving the region's cultural and natural resources.
