Bill > A06160

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 mandates that the welcome center be moved to this new location after any existing operational contracts for the current welcome center are completed. Additionally, the Department of Economic Development is required to establish a new contract with the city of Auburn for operating the welcome center at its new location. The Equal Rights Heritage Center will become the official Central New York Welcome Center, which typically serves as an information hub for tourists and visitors to provide local area information, maps, and resources. The bill's implementation is immediate, meaning it will take effect as soon as it is signed into law. This move appears to be aimed at consolidating tourism resources and potentially highlighting the historical significance of Auburn by linking the welcome center with the Equal Rights Heritage Center.
