Referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management.
This bill expands the Northern Border Regional Commission's coverage area by adding Ontario County, New York to the region it serves. The Northern Border Regional Commission is a federal program that provides economic development support and funding to distressed counties in northern border states. By amending federal law, Ontario County would become eligible for regional commission grants and economic development assistance that were previously unavailable to it. The bill was introduced in July 2025 by Representatives Tenney and Morelle and referred to the House Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure and Financial Services. The legislation contains no specified funding amounts or implementation timeline, as it simply extends existing commission authority to include the additional county.
