TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation
to the establishment of the White Plains industrial development agency

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

Establishes the City of White Plains industrial development agency and
provides for its functions, powers, and duties.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill adds a new section 902-d to the General
Municipal Law, creating the City of White Plains Industrial
Development Agency. This section further provides that the powers of
the IDA with respect to the acquisition of real property by purchase
will be limited to the corporate limits of the City of White Plains.

JUSTIFICATION:

Municipalities may not form IDAs unless specifically authorized by the
General Municipal Law. Currently, more than fifty local governments in
New York State have authorized IDAs under the General Municipal Law.
Industrial Development Agencies in New York State are created to
promote the economic welfare and prosperity of the inhabitants of a
municipality or county. Further, it is their function to actively

attract and encourage development in the area in question. This
legislation establishes the formation of an Industrial Development
Agency in the City of White Plains. The City has requested this
legislation in an effort to promote economic and recreational
opportunities for its residents.
