The City of Little Falls Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) is a locally prepared comprehensive land and water use plan for the City's natural, public, and developed waterfront resources along the Mohawk River and the Canal System.
The City of Little Falls LWRP provides a comprehensive framework within which critical waterfront issues can be addressed and planned waterfront improvement projects can be pursued and implemented. The Little Falls LWRP was adopted by the City's Common Council on December 6, 2005 and approved by the New York State Secretary of State on December 22, 2010.
