ROUTE 97 CORRIDOR, NY — The Upper Delaware Scenic Byway (UDSB) nonprofit organization awarded $17,900 for community projects in 2024 through its four competitive grant programs and event sponsorships.

Vista Enhancement Along the Byway grants are offered to improve New York State Route 97 travelers’ views of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River and the byway corridor. Eligible public or private properties for selective clearing work must be located along the designated portions of the byway.

On January 22, 2024, the board finalized an $8,200 payment for three vista grant projects completed in the Town of Delaware: 1) $2,000 to thin out trees on Central New York Railroad property for viaduct vista improvement; 2) $2,200 to extend the riverside view at a prior work site located across from the Route 97 intersection with Starck Lane between mile markers 1396 and 1398 through selective vegetative clearing; and 3) $4,000 to open up the view of the Delaware River heading north on Route 97 across the viaduct into Callicoon by removing or reducing the height of some trees and limbs along the lower part of Viaduct Road and the railroad embankment, and along the Callicoon Creek on bordering properties of the Delaware Youth Center and Sullivan County Democrat office.
