    32  sector;  plan  to  provide  or  make  available for facility businesses,

    39  farmers.
    40    §  2.  Paragraph  (b) of subdivision 1 of section 16-m of section 1 of
    41  chapter 174 of the laws of 1968, constituting the New York  state  urban

    49  kitchen incubator/shared-use kitchen facilities; or to undertake prelim-
    50  inary planning relating thereto;
    51    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately, provided,  however,  that
