ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

New York State presents a business owner with two faces. On the one hand, it is the business capital of the world, offering unequaled capital markets, a myriad of financing choices, a significant consumer market, excellent institutions of higher education, an experienced and well-educated work-force, and amazing natural resources, all making up one of the 15 largest economies in the world. However, conducting business in New York can be a daunting challenge, requiring that a business overcome regulatory and tax burdens, high costs of conducting business, and a highly compensated workforce.
