Summary
New York S 8711 expands the Excelsior Jobs Program to include hospitality and tourism companies that primarily promote agricultural products or foods and beverages made from agricultural products. Companies in the agricultural industry can now qualify for the Excelsior Jobs Program if they engage in hospitality or tourism activities that focus on selling, marketing, producing, harvesting, or using agricultural products. The bill applies to companies that manufacture or prepare food or drink products onsite principally from agricultural products and market or sell these products through hospitality or tourism activities. The change takes effect immediately and allows agritourism and farm-based hospitality businesses to access the state's business tax credit program.
