Empire State Development news and press releases

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the groundbreaking of a $33 million deluxe hotel on the shores of Chautauqua Lake. Hart Hotels Inc. and Krog Group will work in tandem to build the $33 million upscale hotel in the lake front community of Celoron. The project is one of the largest private-sector-fueled, tourism-based developments to take place in Chautauqua County. “Chautauqua Lake is one of Western New York State’s greatest tourism assets and by building these high-quality accommodations, we are showcasing the region’s unique waterfront areas to attract even more visitors and revenue,” Governor Cuomo said. “Our investments to enhance Western New York's tourism assets, including the national Comedy Center opening next year in Jamestown, help drive economic growth throughout the region." Howard Zemsky, President, CEO & Commissioner of Empire State Development, said, "The new Chautauqua Harbor Hotel will benefit not only from seasonal summertime travel, but also from corporate and overnight stays during the week because of its proximity to Jamestown, with its 30,000 residents and business community. The REDC recognized that this portion of Chautauqua Lake was long overdue for a resort style hotel that will grow the tourism economy by attracting visitors from nearby states and Canada."   Read the full press release here. 

Participating Productions Generated an Estimated $1.05 Billion in Spending; Created More Than 65,000 New Hires in the State Empire State Development (ESD) today congratulated 39 New York-based productions that received 128 nominations for the 2017 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Of the productions nominated, 20 participated in the New York State Film Tax Credit Program, garnering 81 nominations and generating an estimated $1.05 billion in spending and more than 65,000 new hires statewide. “New York State runs one of the most robust Film Tax Credit Programs in the nation, which continues to facilitate billions of dollars in New York State spending, and creates hundreds of thousands of jobs each year,” said ESD President, CEO & Commissioner Howard Zemsky.  “Congratulations to today’s New York-based Emmy Award nominees that continue to drive New York’s reputation as a leader in the film and television industry and showcase our finest talent.” The New York State Film Tax Credit Program attracts award-winning television series and stimulates infrastructure investments that will continue to impact the state’s economy for years to come. As a result, television production has increased exponentially and the state is currently home to 85 Qualified Production Facilities (QPFs). Since 2011, 296 television productions have applied for the New York State Film Tax Credit Program, generating more than $12 billion in local spending and creating more than 720,000 new jobs. A complete list of the 2017 Emmy Award Nominees that participated in the New York Film Tax Credit program is available below.  * Participated in the New York State Post-Production Credit program. **Did not participate in the New York State Tax Credit but was produced or completed post-production in New York.
