Bill > K00283

This resolution commemorates the 125th anniversary of the New York International Auto Show, recognizing its significant historical and ongoing contributions to New York State and the automotive industry. The resolution highlights the show's long-standing importance, tracing its origins to November 3, 1900, when it first opened at Madison Square Garden with just 34 automakers displaying 160 vehicles. Over the past century, the auto show has grown to become the largest automotive exhibition in North America, attracting over a million visitors annually and serving as a platform for showcasing automotive innovations from early gasoline-powered vehicles to modern electric cars. The resolution emphasizes the show's economic impact, its role in promoting clean transportation and sustainable mobility, and its importance as a global venue for automotive design, technology, and networking. By pausing to commemorate this milestone, the legislative body aims to recognize the New York International Auto Show's contributions to innovation, tourism, and the automotive industry, and officially transmit copies of the resolution to the show's organizers, the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, and the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
