Amends a plan setting forth an itemized list of grantees for the New York state economic development assistance program
This bill updates a long-standing list of recipients for the New York State Economic Development Assistance Program, which provides financial aid to various organizations and projects. It specifically directs that funds appropriated in 2008 and reappropriated in 2024 be distributed according to a detailed plan that includes specific dollar amounts for each grantee, such as the Sing Sing Prison Museum and New York Sun Works, Inc. The resolution requires approval from the Senate leadership and the state budget director before the spending schedule can be finalized and enacted. By amending a previous resolution, the bill ensures that the allocation of these economic development funds follows a transparent, itemized process rather than a generic methodology.
