Bill > S01052

This bill directs the New York State Department of Economic Development to relocate the Central New York Welcome Center to the Equal Rights Heritage Center in Auburn, Cayuga County. Specifically, the bill requires the department to designate the Equal Rights Heritage Center as the new welcome center location after any existing operational contracts for the current welcome center have expired. Additionally, the department is mandated to establish a new contract with the city of Auburn for operating the welcome center at the new location. The bill emphasizes a smooth transition by allowing current contracts to run their course before implementing the change. The Equal Rights Heritage Center, located in Auburn, will become the new central hub for welcoming visitors to the Central New York region, potentially highlighting the area's historical significance in the civil rights movement. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, enabling quick implementation of the relocation and operational transfer.
