This legislation improves the existing but underutilized New York State Rehabilitation Tax Credit programs to better serve municipal redevelopment and economic stimulus goals throughout New York State. An economic impact study recently conducted by HR&A Advisors of New York, an industry leader in economic development, real estate and public policy consulting, projects that the rehabilitation tax credit will spur over $500 million dollars of economic activity in New York State and create some 2,000 jobs over its five-year lifespan.
