By Council Members Comrie, Gioia, Gonzalez, James, Nelson, Reyna, Weprin, White Jr. and Gennaro

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to regionally significant projects and empire zones.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Statement of legislative findings and intent. Under Section 957(d)(i) of the General Municipal Law, certain business enterprises located outside the boundaries of an Empire Zone may still be eligible for Empire Zone benefits as a "regionally significant project" because the economic activity of such enterprise is of a nature that is encouraged by the State, and the Administrative Board of such Empire Zone authorizes the designation of such business as a regionally significant project. The New York State Department of Economic Development and the South Jamaica Zone Administrative Board have determined that the proposed expansion of the Bimmy LLC's manufacturing facility in Long Island City is projected to create 100 new jobs and is eligible for Empire Zones benefits as a regionally significant project under Section 957(d)(i) of the General Municipal Law.
