Welcome to the Adirondack Park Agency
The APA is a New York State government agency, consisting of approximately
72 staff and an eleven-member board. In 1971 the APA was created
by the State Legislature to develop long-range land use plans for
both public and private lands within the Park.

The New York State Senate introduced three departmental bills, advanced by the APA, designed to benefit the Adirondack Park.
Chairman Curtis F. Stiles said, “These bills were prepared with the best interest of the Adirondack Park in mind. They help address the critical need for affordable housing and establish a predictable funding source for local government planning efforts. In addition, we carefully evaluated our administrative process and proposed changes that will improve overall Agency efficiency, streamline the project review process and expand flexibility for transferring development rights.”
The Local Government Review Board and the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages support all three bills.
