The Digital Towpath Cooperative was organized in 2005 under an Intermunicipal Agreement (IMA) as authorized by NYS General Municipal Law, Article 5G.
Administrative services are provided by the Institute for Local Government (ILG) at SUNY Institute of Technology in the Utica/Rome area of Central New York, a supporter of the project since its inception, and by volunteers from Digital Towpath communities across the state. Leadership is provided by an Advisory Board, comprised of representatives from member governments. Representatives from ILG and from Northern Publishing, Inc. of Oswego, NY, a private partner of the Digital Towpath since 2001 also sit on the Advisory Board.
