Offshore Wind Development - NYSDEC
Develop transparent, collaborative processes for identifying and addressing priority issues relating to wildlife monitoring and mitigation. Reduce permitting risk and uncertainty for developers by improving clarity in expectations and processes for wildlife monitoring and mitigation. State of the Science Workshop The State of the Science 2020 Workshop, hosted by the NYSERDA, brought together over 430 stakeholders engaged with environmental and wildlife research relevant to offshore wind energy development and focused on cumulative impacts, building on efforts made during the first workshop held in 2018. Following the workshop, seven workgroups were formed in order to identify research priorities to better-understand the cumulative impacts of offshore wind on: environmental change, fishes & aquatic invertebrates, bats, sea turtles, marine mammals, birds, and benthos. In May 2021, the State of the Science Culmination Webinar presented workgroup recommendations and discussed common themes among groups and produced workgroup reports that are available for download. Maritime Technical Working Group (M-TWG) The Maritime Technical Working Group (M-TWG) is an independent advisory body led by New York State Department of State and supported by funding from NYSERDA. The M-TWG is comprised of regional stakeholders in shipping and navigation, as well as state and federal partners such as the United States Coast Guard and the United States Army Corp of Engineers. The group advances New York's offshore wind development goals by focusing on identifying issues and potential resolutions related to the safe navigation of vessels to and from New York Harbor and areas adjacent to offshore wind project sites during all phases of development. Job & Supply Chain Technical Working Group (JSC-TWG) The JSC-TWG is an independent advisory body led by NYSERDA and focused on advancing workforce development, the broader supply chain, and private development in port infrastructure in New York State. The group is comprised of offshore wind developers, global manufacturers, local economic development stakeholders, academia, and state agencies. BOEM New York Bight Wind Energy Areas In order to fulfill New York State's goal of competitively attaining 9 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2035, the state petitioned the federal government's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to add additional lease areas within the New York Bight. BOEM produced a Call for Information and Nominations to delineate new areas for offshore wind development.

LAO Economy and Taxes
Communities’ zoning rules often are out of sync with the types of projects developers desire to build and households desire to live in. As a result, home building lags behind demand. Although we offer a few changes the Legislature could consider, real improvement can come only with a major shift in how communities and their residents think about and value new housing.

 The 2017-18 Budget: Governor's Gann Limit Proposal
 

Format:
PDF
HTML

March 2, 2017 - 
 Under the State Constitution, state tax revenues in excess of the Prop 4 (1979) state appropriations limit, or Gann Limit, must be split between taxpayer rebates and additional school spending. The Governor now proposes a new calculation methodology that creates $22 billion in additional state spending capacity. We find that the Governor's proposal violates the spirit of Proposition 4 and—in our view—is highly vulnerable to legal challenges. We recommend that the Legislature reject the proposal and offer options for legislative consideration.

LGBTQIA+ History - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation

Additionally, you will notice that this page disproportionately
	 represents the New York City region. This is because NYC has the largest LGBTQIA+ identifying population in the state. LGBTQIA+ folks have built communities in many
	 non-NYC areas, many just to survive, and it is a continued effort to uncover this history in other regions. On this page, you will find a non-extensive list of notable sites and
	 icons connected to both LGBTQIA+ history and the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

Looking Forward to our Legacy
The NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is committed to creating a space that is safe and welcoming to all people, including those in the LGBTQIA+
	 community. This commitment includes properly acknowledging the community's contributions to our shared New York State history as well as continued efforts to ensure that
	 ALL ARE WELCOME within the agency and at our sites.

Language
Language is constantly evolving as people create new terms to express their identities. Terms can mean different things to different people, but below are the generally accepted
	 definitions of various terms associated with the LGBTQIA+ community.
