A 9430 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to technical assistance provided to municipalities related to college and university closures; repealer

This bill repeals an existing provision and creates a new requirement for the Department of Economic Development to provide technical assistance to municipalities upon request when a college or university closes within that municipality. It specifically directs the department to help with workforce transition, attracting new employers, planning for former campus land/buildings, and handling creditor matters related to the closure. The assistance focuses on practical support for local economic recovery, without involving the state in legal disputes. This policy change directly affects municipalities experiencing the closure of a higher education institution.
