Bill > A08165

This bill allows the city of White Plains in Westchester County to lease the sports field fences at Gedney Field to a New York-based not-for-profit corporation or organization for advertising purposes. The lease can be made annually at a nominal (very low) rent, with the specific requirement that all revenues generated from the advertising sales must be used exclusively for maintaining the sports field. The bill provides an exception to existing laws or city charters that might otherwise prohibit such leasing arrangements, giving the city of White Plains explicit legal permission to enter into this type of agreement. By enabling the city to generate additional funds for field maintenance through advertising, the bill offers a potential financial solution for maintaining local sports infrastructure.
