 7 ties at the time this act becomes effective, may reconstruct or improve
 8 them or may construct additional like facilities, in the manner and upon
 9 such terms and conditions as the board shall determine; and provided
 10 further, however, that each such facility which contains or consists of
 11 a gas station shall, beginning November first, two thousand twenty-five,
 12 include a facility for selling to the public an alternative fuel, as
 13 defined in section 1-103 of the energy law and each alternative fuel
 14 recommended to the authority by the New York state energy research and
 15 development authority pursuant to section 5-129 of the energy law shall
