NEW YORK STATE URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION d/b/a ...

DRAFT – SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND REVISION
Ms. Shaffer explained that today’s guidelines only cover the Economic Development Purposes
Fund, but that the guidelines have been written more generally so that they have flexibility to
work for different programs.
Chair Shimer then asked if there would be a benefit in taking the myriad of already
existing guidelines and integrating them all under the same umbrella.
Ms. Shaffer stated that that would be wonderful it if could actually be done.
Further discussion was had with regard to the reworking of ESD’s guidelines and the
pre-conditions that exist, prohibiting integration of the guidelines were addressed.
The matter of two forms of application – ESD and CFA – was also discussed in answer to
a further question posed by Chair Shimer.
Chair Shimer stressed the importance of streamlining the State’s operations and
encouraged staff to continue in that direction.
There being no further questions or comments, and upon motion duly made and
seconded, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Economic Development Programs – Adoption of Guidelines for Economic Development
Programs; and Authorization to Take Related Actions
