North Shore Heritage Area Planning CommissionThe New York State legislation established the Long Island North Shore Heritage Area Planning Commission comprised of local leaders and citizens to draft a management plan to develop, preserve and promote the area's unique historic, cultural and natural resources. Appointments to the planning commission were made by the Governor, New York State Senate and Assembly, and Nassau and Suffolk counties. This group of dedicated citizens from throughout the region volunteered countless hours over the last several years to gather public comment and write a management plan. The Planning Commission and committees held regular meetings from November 1999 until December 2006. In October 2006 the Planning Commission submitted the Management Plan and associated Environmental Review documents for review and approval by the Commissioner of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The Management Plan was approved and the Long Island North Shore Heritage Area was accepted for full membership in the New York State Heritage Area System (http://www.nysparks.state.ny.us/heritage/herit_area.asp) on December 8, 2006. The final meeting of the Planning Commission was held on December 13, 2006 at which time the Commission approved the filing of a certificate of incorporation for the Long Island North Shore Heritage Area, Inc., a non-profit corporation created in accordance with the approved Management Plan as the successor to the Planning Commission in coordinating and managing the activities of the Heritage Area.
