The League urges the counties and municipalities to:

• Give priority to development of tourism-related enterprises, water-dependent uses, including marinas, waterfront parks, preserves and other such uses that will protect or enhance water quality and aquatic habitats. 
• Encourage local action to implement the Hudson River Greenway and related state or federal regional programs and projects that will preserve, protect or enhance and/or link the natural and cultural features of the riverway. 
• Encourage research on the riverway, particularly on terrestrial and aquatic habitats and water quality issues.
• Support timely state and federal cleanup efforts for PCBs in the Upper Hudson River, while giving due consideration to community needs that may result from any adverse impacts accruing from cleanup activities.
• Take measures to deal with the problem of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) in order to reduce the amount of untreated sewage going into the Hudson.
• Work with local leaders to develop a bike trail that would surround the Mohawk River and Collins Lake.
• Ensure funding and staffing for Agricultural Environmental Management (AEM) programs in order to improve agricultural stewardship.
