Research notes
Soft preemption — participation-based. Covers 13 counties adjoining the Hudson River (from Westchester/Rockland to Saratoga/Washington). Greenway Communities are eligible for enhanced technical assistance and grants; non-participation is legally permissible. Documented here because several downstate NY cities treat Greenway designation as a qualitative constraint on waterfront zoning.
