2017-S3362 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S3362

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the New York state urban development corporation act,
in relation to kitchen incubator/shared-use kitchen facilities

 PURPOSE OF BILL :

Provide start-up and expansion funding for not-for-profit sponsors of
small-scale food processing facilities.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Would add a new section 16-aa to chapter 174 of the laws of 1968
constituting the NYS Urban Development Corporation (UDC) Act creating
a kitchen incubator/shared-use kitchen facility grant program.

Section 1. Subdivision (1) establishes that the Corporation (UDC)
would be authorized to award competitive grants to local development
corporations, municipalities, educational institutions and other
not-for-profit organizations for the costs involved in starting or
expanding a kitchen incubator/shared-use kitchen facility. The
Corporation would be authorized to contract with the Commissioner of
Agriculture and Markets, to prepare and issue requests for proposals,
accept grant applications, recommend those applications that best meet

criteria, establish criteria and administer grants. Grants may be used
for construction, rehabilitation, equipment, training, technical
assistance and other approved purposes and the sponsors must provide
low-cost space and financing and business support services. Other
services, such as technical, production, distribution and sales
assistance to tenants, may be provided. Subdivision (2) requires grant
applicants to provide management plans for financial self-sufficiency,
community needs assessment, and planning for providing assistance
described in paragraph (1). Subdivision (3) grants and loans shall not
exceed $250,000 per year. Preference would be given to applicants:
from highly distressed areas or empire zones; providing a local match;
meeting a substantial local or regional need; complementing local
programs or providing services not available from local programs or
local government or the private sector; providing services, including,
but not limited to, food production or processing technical
assistance, marketing, distribution, purchasing, storage, packaging,
insurance, on-site retailing or other services; and, who have
developed a plan, to assist businesses in the facility with purchasing
NYS agricultural products and promoting the facility to regional
farmers. Section 2.  Amends paragraph b of subdivision 1 of section
16-m of section 1 of chapter 174 of the laws of 1968 as added by
chapter 84 of the laws of 2002 to include kitchen incubator/shared-use
kitchen programs in the Economic Development Fund.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Small businesses provide a significant portion of the jobs, and
opportunities for financial success, in our State. This is especially
true for distressed communities, rural areas, immigrant populations
and women and minorities. In the food sector of our economy many
successful enterprises have been started at home or on the farm by
individuals who may not have an advanced degree or investment income
but have created a great recipe or family dish that could be developed
into a profitable product. The growth of these types of businesses is
often dependent on affordable, available processing space, financing,
management assistance and other services that can, nurture an emerging
firm. A facility assisting the growth, of new or expanding businesses
is called an incubator. Kitchen incubators are similar to other types
of business incubators; they provide inexpensive space, shared
services, access to financing and other support to multiple small
enterprises such as specialty food producers, farmers, street vendors,
restaurants, caterers, and food service training programs. These food
business incubators - can be built from scratch but most often are
located in buildings, such as abandoned or underused food service
facilities, that al ready have available food preparation space and
equipment.  The goals of these "kitchen" facilities are to foster
entrepreneurship, job -development, and community revitalization. An
additional goal is improving local farm sustainability by providing an
outlet for farmers to sell, or add value themselves, to their farm
products.

This bill would provide seed funding for communities to establish
facilities that provide opportunities for all segments of our society
to become food business owners. New business owners create jobs fox
the surrounding area. The facility could also participate in workforce
training and development. The proposed funding for these facilities
would be targeted and carefully allocated. Program sponsors would be
required to develop a facility that is based on a sound plan that
analyzes community needs, and ensures fiscal responsibility. The
State's economic development efforts currently focus financial
assistance to large companies, however, major food processors have
virtually disappeared from New York. Creating a program for
small-scale food businesses will help reverse this trend, benefiting
local economies, workers and farmers.

 SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS :

Would authorize the Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets to
contract to administer the grant program. Removes reference to
licensing of facilities. Removes reference to applicants developing
plans with Agriculture and Markets. Removes limit on grants per
application.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS :

Subject to state appropriations.

 REGULATION IMPACT :

State regulations establishing grant application-requirements may be
needed.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately.
