New York City’s Economic Incentives Have Been Renewed & Extended!

The New York Grant Company, a EACCNY member, is pleased to let you know that all of New York City’s as-of-right economic incentives have been renewed and extended as part of the State’s 2014 budget package signed into law by the State legislature and Governor Cuomo on April 1, 2014.

Moreover, all of the incentives are effective retroactive to any sunset dates which have already passed for many of the programs.  This means that any company which signed or renewed a lease, made qualified expenditures, or relocated to New York City prior to April 1 may still qualify.  Please call us if you have any questions at 212-227-8283 and ask to speak with anyone on our team for assistance.

The following is a quick at-a-glance chart summarizing the new extended dates, plus references to other major active incentives in New York City’s five boroughs.
