AN ACT to amend the New York state urban development corporation act, in
  relation  to  establishing  the empire revolving bridge loan fund, and
  authorizing the New York state urban development corporation to  issue
  bonds  or  notes to provide monies for such fund; and to amend chapter
  393 of the laws of 1994, amending the New York state urban development
  corporation act relating to the powers of the  New  York  state  urban
  development  corporation  to make loans, in relation to the effective-
  ness thereof

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Section 1 of chapter 174 of the laws of 1968, constituting
the New York state urban development  corporation  act,  is  amended  by
adding a new section 16-u to read as follows:
  S  16-U.   EMPIRE REVOLVING BRIDGE LOAN FUND. 1. IT IS HEREBY DECLARED
THAT IT IS A VITAL POLICY AND  PUBLIC  PURPOSE  OF  NEW  YORK  STATE  TO
PROMOTE SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NEW YORK. THE HISTORY OF NEW
YORK  IS  MARKED  BY  LARGE-SCALE ECONOMIC ENDEAVORS WHICH HARNESSED THE
CREATIVITY, SKILL AND VISION OF THE RESIDENTS OF NEW  YORK.  THE  TRANS-
FORMING  POWER  OF  THESE  ACCOMPLISHMENTS  IS BEST EMBODIED IN THE ERIE
CANAL, WHICH CREATED IN ITS WAKE A  SURGE  OF  ECONOMIC  AND  POPULATION
GROWTH  IN  NEW YORK. IN CONTRAST, THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS THAT THE
CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE OF NEW YORK AS A WHOLE IS MARKED BY  PERSISTENT
DISINVESTMENT,  BLIGHT AND AGING INFRASTRUCTURE, LOSS OF OPEN SPACE, AND
EMIGRATION OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND INVESTMENT DOLLARS, AND  THAT
RECREATING THE ENVIRONMENT OF ENERGY AND RISK-TAKING THAT DROVE THE ERIE
CANAL  IS  ESSENTIAL  TO  NEW  YORK'S FUTURE WELL-BEING. THE LEGISLATURE
FINDS THAT IN ORDER TO REVERSE THE TRENDS OF DECLINE,  IT  IS  NECESSARY

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
