                                BILL NUMBER:S6122

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation
to the town of Concord industrial development agency

PURPOSE:  To expand the corporate limits of the town of Concord
industrial development agency to the towns of Brant, Colden, Collins,
Holland, North Collins, Sardinia, and Wales

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 expands the ability of the Town of Concord Industrial
Development Agency to exercise its powers to include property within
the corporate limits of the towns of Brant, Colden, Collins, Holland,
North Collins, Sardinia, and Wales, provided that such town boards
pass a resolution in support of the exercise of such powers.

Section 2 states that this law shall take effect immediately.

EXISTING LAW:  The exercise of powers of the town of Concord
industrial development agency is limited to the corporate limits of
the town.

JUSTIFICATION: On September 26, 2012, Senator Gallivan held a public
hearing regarding Industrial Development Agencies in Erie County. One
of the concerns at this meeting was that many towns in Erie County

lack an IDA and consequently are at a competitive disadvantage when
businesses choose where to locate. One suggestion on how to address
this issue was to allow towns without an IDA to access the IDA of a
town with one. After further consultation with the towns in Erie
County, both those with and without IDAs, a regional plan for IDA
expansion emerged as the consensus plan for creating a level playing
field for all towns in Erie County.

This bill expands the corporate limits of the town of Concord
industrial development agency to the towns of Brant, Colden, Collins,
Holland, North Collins,.Sardinia, and Wales. This system will require
that towns work together to advance projects that are in the best
interests of the region and Erie County as a whole. The cities are
left the exclusive territory of the Erie County IDA, which is where
the ECIDA has chosen to focus its energy. Projects in small towns,
which are meaningful to the town in question but not critical to the
county at large, are often put on the backburner by the ECIDA as it
focuses on revitalizing the city cores. This new approach will give
small towns greater opportunities to pursue these projects while
allowing the ECIDA to continue to focus its energy in the areas most
in need of its resources.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Minimal

LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:  The increased property values and future
property tax revenues that will result will pay for tax abatements.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediate.
