Introduced by Sen. YOUNG -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
printed to be committed to the Committee on Housing, Construction and
Community Development
AN ACT to amend the private housing finance law, in relation to estab-
lishing a New York Main Street development center
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The private housing finance law is amended by adding a new
article 28 to read as follows:
ARTICLE 28
NEW YORK MAIN STREET
DEVELOPMENT CENTER
SECTION 1300. LEGISLATIVE INTENT.
1301. NEW YORK MAIN STREET DEVELOPMENT CENTER.
S 1300. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS THAT WITH
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN INCREASINGLY SHORT SUPPLY, THE NEW YORK MAIN
STREET DEVELOPMENT CENTER WILL NOT ONLY BE THE CATALYST FOR COMMUNITY
RENEWAL, BUT ALSO ADDRESS THE CRITICAL NEED TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE OPPOR-
TUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE. MAIN STREETS AND DOWNTOWN BUILDINGS COULD
SERVE AS THE PRIMARY LOCATION FOR NEW HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT
THIS STATE. MAIN STREETS AND DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICTS, ARE UNIQUELY
EQUIPPED TO SERVE THIS FUNCTION SINCE THESE AREAS BOAST UNDERUTILIZED
WATER AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE, ARE THE HUBS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION,
AND ARE THE CENTERS OF COMMERCE.
S 1301. NEW YORK MAIN STREET DEVELOPMENT CENTER. THE DIVISION OF HOUS-
ING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL SHALL WORK IN COORDINATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT
OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE, THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION, AND THE OFFICE OF PARKS AND RECREATION TO ESTABLISH A
"NEW YORK MAIN STREET DEVELOPMENT CENTER" WITHIN SUCH DIVISION. THE MAIN
STREET DEVELOPMENT CENTER SHALL HAVE AS ITS MISSION THE DISSEMINATION OF
INFORMATION RELATED TO EXISTING STATE PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS THE REDEVELOP-
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
