New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has signed a measure that will help Community Boards to do planning under the state’s brownfield program. The measure, introduced by Sen. Velmanette Montgomery and Assemblywoman Joan Millman allows Community Boards to apply for certain planning grants from the Brownfield Opportunity Areas program. The measure had previously been vetoed by Gov. Pataki. The revised bill–which allows the boards to compete for the planning money–was passed on July 20.
