New York is Open for Business
At Empire State Development our priority is the economic prosperity of
New York; whether it’s paving the way for new
companies to operate old manufacturing facilities, investing
in nanotech research and development or developing older
city centers to support livable communities. We are working
to ensure that New York State’s investments create one of
the most efficient, productive and competitive economic
development climates in the country.
With a longstanding tradition of innovation and
entrepreneurship, and the vision of Governor David A.
Paterson, New York is leading the emerging “New Economy”—an
economy which capitalizes on our strengths to create and
retain jobs and attract business to New York State.
Our new comprehensive website is aimed at helping us
continue in that tradition. Whether you are an
international
company looking to make a move, a
small business owner
wanting to access capital, interested in
filming in
New York State, or looking for that perfect
New York travel
deal – ESD’s dedicated staff is here to help.
Working with Governor
Paterson, we continue to make great strides inour efforts to
encourage economic investment and prosperity in New York
State for now and for the future.
Sincerely,
