Section 41.01. Legislative findings and intent

The corridor of the east
  side of downtown Buffalo encompassing, but not limited to, the J. Edward
  Nash  House,  the  Michigan  Street  Baptist  Church,  and  the  Colored
  Musicians  Club  is of unique and historic significance to the state. It
  is the intent of  the  legislature  to  establish  the  Michigan  Street
  African  American Heritage Corridor commission in the city of Buffalo as
  defined in paragraph (t) of subdivision one of  section  35.03  of  this
  title   to   work  with  participating  state  and  municipal  agencies,
  organizations and residents  in  order  to  implement  or  cause  to  be
  implemented  the preservation and enhancement of the historic, cultural,
  economic  and  architectural  resources  of   the   heritage   corridor.
  Furthermore,  it  is  the  intent  of  the legislature that the heritage
  corridor be developed to function as a  destination  for  both  academic
  research  and  tourism.  The  commission  established by this article is
  designed to ensure and promote the accessibility to the resources in the
  heritage corridor to a broad range of academic and tourism interests. It
  is the intent of the legislature that the heritage corridor be  marketed
  to  niche  market  travelers and scholars, and that economic development
  within its boundaries is consistent with the legislative intent, and the
  mission of the heritage corridor.
