 Historic Ithaca and the City of Ithaca have a received a $367,000 New York State Grant for exterior restoration of the Cascadilla Boathouse in Ithaca's Stewart Park! Announced in December 2018, the funds were awarded from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation/Historic Preservation Development Program as part of Governor Andrew Cuomo's highly competitive Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Initiative. Former Village trustee Diana Riesman was instrumental in helping to initiate and secure the state REDC grant for exterior restoration of the Cascadilla Boathouse. In her role as executive director of the Wharton Studio Museum and board president of Friends of Stewart Park, Riesman has long pushed for improvements to revitalize Stewart Park. In 2013, Wharton Studio Museum led the effort to design and install interpretive signs on each of the park's historic buildings, including the historic Boathouse. The Boathouse award follows closely on the state grant that Riesman helped win through State Senator Tom O'Mara's office to fund restoration of the former Wharton Studio building in the park. Riesman's passion and tenacity are helping to ensure that Stewart Park's historic resources are preserved as part of ongoing efforts to maintain this vital community space.
