ESD offers loans, grants and tax credits, as well as other financing and technical assistance, to support businesses and encourage their growth within New York State.
Through the New York State Consolidated Funding Application (CFA), a single application for multiple sources of state funding, New York State is soliciting requests for funding in order to grow the economy of the North Country region.
The following programs are available through the CFA:https://apps.cio.ny.gov/apps/cfa/contractReporter.cfm#DirectAssistance
State Small Business Credit Initiative
In early 2011, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation that established the use of State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) funds for three economic development programs.
These programs will enable small businesses to leverage new capital and credit to help them create private sector jobs.
The SSBCI is part of President Obama’s Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which supports state-level small business credit programs. New York’s access to $55.4 million in SSBCI funds is expected to generate over $554 million in new private capital for small businesses.
