OF ALLEGANY COUNTY

LOCAL

DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held by Allegany County Local Development Corporation (the “ACLDC”) on

February 4, 2026 at 6:30 o’clock p.m., local time, at the Large Conference Room located at Crossroads Commerce & Conference Center, 6087 NYS Route 19N, Suite 100, Belmont, Allegany County, New York, in connection with the

following matters:

On April 9, 2022, the New York State legislature passed the New York State 2022-2023 Budget Bill which contained provisions (1) amending Section 103 of the Public Officer’s Law of the State of New York (the “Open Meetings Law”); and (2) adding the Videoconferencing Law to the Open Meetings Law.

Pursuant to Section 103-a(2) of the Videoconferencing Law, the ACLDC, as a “public body” under and as defined in the Videoconferencing Law, may, in its discretion, conduct Remote Access Meetings (as defined herein), provided that the ACLDC must first (A) conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed authorization of Remote Access Meetings; (B) adopt a resolution authorizing the ACLDC and each of its committees and subcommittees to conduct Remote Access Meetings (the “Remote Access Resolution”); and (C) establish written procedures

governing Remote

Access Meetings (such written procedures of the ACLDC being referred to hereinafter as the

“Remote Access Policy”). Copies of the Remote Access Policy shall be available to the public at the location of the Public Hearing. Additionally, copies of the Remote Access Policy can be obtained from the ACLDC prior to the Public Hearing as further described below.

The ACLDC is considering whether (A) to authorize Remote Access Meetings and (B) to adopt the Remote Access Policy. A “Remote Access Meeting” shall mean any meeting of the ACLDC where a member of the ACLDC participates in such meeting using videoconferencing from a location that is not open to the public.

If the ACLDC, subsequent to holding the Public Hearing, determines to authorize Remote Access Meetings and adopt the Remote Access Policy, the ACLDC may thereafter, in its discretion, conduct a Remote Access Meeting. All Remote Access Meetings so conducted by the ACLDC shall comply with the Videoconferencing Law and the Remote Access Policy,

respectively.

The ACLDC will at said time and place hear all persons with views on the Remote Access Policy being contemplated by the ACLDC in connection with the authorization contained in the Video conferencing Law.
