AN ACT to authorize the New  York  state  thruway  authority  to  convey
  certain land located in the village of Canastota, county of Madison

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

  Section 1. Declaration of purpose. The state of New York, the  village
of Canastota and the county of Madison have determined that the develop-
ment  of  the  village  of  Canastota's underutilized property, uniquely
located near the New York state thruway, is  vital  to  the  growth  and
prosperity  of  the  state of New York, the village of Canastota and the
county of Madison. Development of this area offers an historic  opportu-
nity  to  expand  the  local  economy, provide job opportunities, expand
tourism and recreational related industry, and increase municipal reven-
ue for the residents of the village of Canastota and the overall Central
New York region.  In general, the state of New York desires  to  improve
this  corridor  to create opportunities for tourism and recreation.  The
New York state thruway authority has identified a parcel of such certain
land, which is under its present jurisdiction and owned by the people of
the state of New York, that may be utilized to allow realization of such
opportunities for tourism and recreation.   The county  of  Madison  has
established  an industrial development agency pursuant to section 893 of
the general municipal law with the intention of using  such  agency  for
the  purposes  of  relieving  and  reducing  unemployment, promoting and
providing for additional and maximum employment, bettering and maintain-
ing job opportunities, and such other purposes as may be  authorized  by
section 893 of the general municipal law.
  S 2. Notwithstanding any other law, the New York state thruway author-
ity  shall transfer and convey to the Madison county industrial develop-
ment agency, created pursuant to section 893 of  the  general  municipal
law,  the  parcel  of certain land referenced in section one of this act
