Economic Development

Long Island businesses can count on a diversified network of local, state and federal business assistance resources and programs, utilities, industry groups, and public-private partnerships. Many offer financial assistance, such as low-interest loans or tax abatements; others provide business counseling and networking opportunities. Both Nassau and Suffolk Counties have in place long-term plans to fuel business growth and provide an environment in which people can live and work well. Many communities have been revitalized after being designated as Empire Zones, bringing special incentive programs to businesses that locate within them and encouraging economic development, business investment and job creation.
