TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in
relation to authorizing the New York Wine and Culinary Center or a whol-
ly owned subsidiary to operate the Finger Lakes Welcome Center; and

JUSTIFICATION:

The New York Wine & Culinary Center (NYWCC) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-pro-

would partner with the state to help design the Finger Lakes Welcome
Center (FLWC) in Geneva, NY. The FLWC is one of ten such facilities
being built around the state and will showcase locally sourced craft
beverages and foods. One of the unique ways the New York Wine and Culi-
nary Center (NYWCC) will be able to provide a different experience at
the FLWC, is its ability to utilize its NYWCC's farm winery license.
