 AN  ACT to amend the economic development law, in relation to establish-
   ing the transitional green development program

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings and declaration. At a time when munic-
 ipal  budgets  are  stretched to their limits with regard to traditional
 expenditures, it is hereby found and declared that there  exists  within
 the  state  the  need  to  augment the capabilities of municipalities to
 identify and coordinate those qualities that give  them  unique  identi-
 ties,  in  order to best exploit those qualities as they transition from
 the formerly industrial-based economies to those  premised  on  environ-
 mentally  sustainable  economic  growth. The legislature recognizes that
 those qualities vary widely from municipality to municipality across the
 state and include, but are not limited to, cultural, educational,  agri-
 cultural,   environmental   and   infrastructural  characteristics  that
 contribute to the municipal and regional identity. It is  further  found
 that  it is the public policy of the state to provide special assistance
 to those municipalities that seek to best identify and  integrate  those
 capabilities to promote transitional growth and development.
   §  2.  The economic development law is amended by adding a new article
 23 to read as follows:
                                 ARTICLE 23
                   TRANSITIONAL GREEN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
 SECTION 450. DEFINITIONS.
         451. TRANSITIONAL GREEN DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGRAM.
         452. DISTRIBUTION OF GRANTS.
         453. GREEN DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR.
