BILL NUMBER:S161
Title of bill
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to allocation of hydroelectric power within the area of the Niagara project
Purpose
To enable small manufacturing facilities which occupy former manufacturing facilities of over 100,000 square feet to be evaluated as a single unit for the purpose of complying with the criteria for eligibility for allocation of hydropower.
Summary of provisions
Amends section 1005 of the public authorities law to add a new criteria for evaluation of facilities seeking allocation of hydropower from the power Authority of the state of New York.
Justification
There are numerous abandoned large manufacturing facilities over 100,000 square feet in the state. In those cases where a developer can reuse these facilities with several smaller manufacturing tenants (multi-tenant facility), those facilities should be placed on a level playing field with the large facility for application purposes, when the same multi-tenant unit would meet, as a single unit, the criteria for eligibility of hydropower allocation.
