Title of bill
An act to amend the New York state urban development corporation act, in relation to the planning and development of urban and regional farmers' markets facilities

Makes provisions on planning and development of urban and regional farmers' market facilities.
Summary of specific provisions
Adds a new section 16-v to the Urban Development Corporation Act, relating to the planning and development of urban and regional farmers' market facilities.
Justification
In this time of attempting to revitalize cities and urban areas, it is desirable to bring the products of farmers and craft businesses into the city to allow them to sell directly to the customer. This not only benefits the consumer by allowing them to buy fresh produce and items directly from the farmers but also helps to bring people into areas of the cities which will provide a spin off to the nearby businesses.
