New York is Open for Business

Chairman Dennis M. Mullen

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.
 
So we invite you to explore our site and learn more about us and our efforts to encourage economic investment and prosperity in New York State for now and for the future.

Sincerely,

Chairman Mullen's Signature
Dennis M. Mullen

A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR

Governor David A. Paterson

New York State, through Empire State Development (ESD), is working steadfast
to create economic growth, quality jobs and bold communities across the varied economic landscapes of the Empire State. 
 
Perhaps one of the most important aspects of New York State’s state government is transparency.  This new Web site furthers that mission as it provides critical information on ESD, as well as how New York State can work with you—our partners in the economic development and business communities—lay the foundation for a solid economic recovery across the State.  You may sign up to receive the Citizen Contact for additional information on New York State government.
