Four Upstate counties have been honored by the National Association of Counties for their work on the Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary project.

Cayuga County announced on Thursday that it, along with Jefferson, Oswego, and Wayne Counties, has received a 2025 Achievement Award from the association. The award honors “innovative, effective county government programs that strengthen services for residents.

“The Achievement Awards shine a light on the hard work and innocation happening in county governments across the nation,” said NACo President James Gore. “This year’s winners highlight the dedication and creativity of county leaders and our teams to building thriving communities and providing the best possible services to our residents.”

The marine sanctuary was designated as such in 2024 and encompasses over 1,722 square miles.
