THIELE -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. SALADINO -- read once and referred to the Committee on Housing AN ACT to amend the private housing finance law, in relation to creating the "Peconic Bay region workforce housing opportunity act" THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

Unique demographics and economics in the Peconic Bay region, and a lack of affordable dwelling units, are creating this housing shortage. The combination of the Peconic Bay region's attractiveness, proximity to the dense population of the New York metropolitan region, and proximity EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
