MODERATE
The bill was amended to clarify the entity responsible for the project by changing 'Empire State Development' to 'Empire State Development Corporation.' It also updated the definition of the 'Wadsworth project' to specify it as a life sciences laboratory. Most significantly, the amendment added a requirement to set aside surface parking or underutilized space for commercial and retail development until a master plan is finalized, and it expanded the master plan requirements to include infrastructure specifically supporting the new Wadsworth project.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly mandate the repurposing of existing parking or underutilized space for commercial and retail use before the final master plan is completed, and the master plan now includes specific infrastructure needs for the new Wadsworth project.
DEFINITION
The definition of the 'Wadsworth project' was updated to explicitly describe it as a New York State life sciences public health laboratory on a 27-acre site.
REQUIREMENT
A new requirement was added to set aside at least 7 acres of surface parking or underutilized space within the Wadsworth project site for commercial and retail development until the master plan is finished.
The master plan requirements were expanded to include infrastructure needed to support the Wadsworth Project and the mixed-use development.
SCOPE
References to the responsible agency were updated from 'Empire State Development' to 'Empire State Development Corporation' throughout the text.
