Operating and Maintaining Historic Locks & Attractions

 The City of Lockport is the sponsor of the Erie Canal Flight of Five Rehabilitation Project. The City has successfully worked with elected officials at the local, state and federal level to obtain funding for the capital construction work necessary to return the Flight of Five to working condition.    

The New York State Canal Corporation, owner and operator of the New York State Canal System, has been an integral partner. Similarly, the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor assists with promotion and interpretation of Lockport’s Erie Canal heritage assets.

Aside from the capital construction costs, there are yearly operating expenses that the Lockport Locks Heritage District Corporation (LHDC) faces. The LHDC has taken on the City of Lockport’s obligation to maintain and operate the rehabilitated Flight of Five Locks as well as the Erie Traveler, Locks District Museum and Lock Tenders Tribute Monument. In addition, there are annual operating expenses, including liability insurance, Lock Tender uniforms, and marketing and advertising costs.

Community Support

  

  

Lockport area businesses, recognizing the tremendous opportunity to economically revitalize Lockport’s historic canal corridor, donate to the Annual Locks District Appeal in order to provide funds for the operation and maintenance costs involved. The Locks District also benefits from over 200 volunteers serving as Lock Tenders, Flower Tenders, Chaperones, Tour Attendants and Tour Docents. Many other local residents provide monetary contributions so that Saturday Locks Demonstrations can be offered to the public free of charge during the summer season.
