Relates to the establishment of regional arts, cultural affairs, and parks accessibility and sustainability grants
This bill creates 10 regional grant programs across New York State for arts, cultural, and parks organizations. Each region (e.g., Long Island, NYC, Capital Region) will have a council appointed by the governor, assembly speaker, and senate president to distribute competitive grants for two specific purposes: improving accessibility (like ADA compliance) and sustainability (such as energy efficiency and waste reduction). Grants must be split equally between larger and smaller organizations in each region (over/under $10M budgets in NYC, over/under $5M elsewhere), and parks organizations cannot receive more than 50% of total grant funds annually. Organizations cannot receive grants more than once every three years.
