Oneida Lake Watershed Project
In 1998, the Central New York Regional Planning & Development Board launched a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation-funded project to develop a strategy for the southern region of the Oneida Lake watershed. The Oneida Lake Task Force was formed, which consisted of a partnership of agencies, organizations, nonprofit and homeowner groups, and other key decision-makers throughout the watershed. As a result of these partnerships, many groups have looked beyond agency and county borders to identify common goals and to share resources.
