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.
