Excitement and anticipation are building for the coming total eclipse, and for the state of New York, that means total preparation.
NY officials say the state has spent the past 18 months planning for the eclipse, influx of touristsNEW YORK --
"We have been planning for this for 18 months. We've created an inner-agency task force to ensure that we are promoting the tourism, but we are keeping people safe," said New York State Director of State Operations Kathryn Garcia. It's a once-in-a-generation celestial experience for the region, and that's bound to be good for the economy."This is going to be great for our tourism, it's going to bring in thousands, if not millions, of people to localities all along the trajectory of this. It's going to be in Jamestown, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Plattsburg and everything in between," Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
"To be in the sky while the sun gets covered by the moon is truly unbelievable," said Skydive the Falls co-owner Jason Berger said. "We're going to have our GoPros, we're going to have footage, it's going to be something that you can never probably do again."Officials are urging viewers not to look directly at the sun, and to get approved eclipse glasses.
