S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 6825 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y April 6, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. CRESPO -- read once and referred to the Committee on Economic Development AN ACT to amend the New York state urban development corporation act, in relation to including kitchen incubators in the New York state busi- ness incubator and innovation hot spot support act THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that in order to improve economic opportunities for New York state citizens and entrepreneurs, it must use the capabilities of government, business and community based organizations to offer space and resources to the next generation of food manufacturing businesses. One of the chief obstacles for start-up food manufacturing businesses is their inability to access affordable commercial kitchen space. Currently, all over the state, there are only a few kitchen incubators which are facing high demand and are unable to meet the needs of the many potential start-up businesses. Kitchen incubators are a valuable resource for New York state as it moves to promote more job development, business development and increased tax revenues. In New York City alone, there are more than 900 food firms, with over 16,000 employees and another 2,500 who are self-employed. This data has been viewed as evidence of entrepreneurs' intent to develop their food manufacturing ideas into full scale production capabilities and fully functional business entities. Minority and immigrant populations are growing significantly through- out the state and so are their number in entrepreneurship activities, including in the development and sale of foods from their native place of origin. This increase in the population of minority and immigrant communities, creates growing demand for such foods. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD03954-01-5
