Governor Hochul Launches Round XV Regional Economic Development Council Initiative
Governor Hochul announced the launch of the 2025 Regional Economic Development Council Initiative (REDC). This year, the CFA includes grant funds and tax credits available through more than 20 programs administered by eight State agencies and authorities.
The REDCs have changed the way NYS invests state resources, through a community-based, bottom-up approach designed to meet each region’s needs, involving private-public partnerships of local experts and stakeholders.
The Project Tracking Dashboard provides information on previously funded CFA Projects. This interactive tool allows for summarization and analysis of all project data. It contains four tabs: Top Level Stats, Investments & Jobs, a Map, and an Appendix. For more information on how to use and interpret the dashboard, please see the Dashboard Guidance Document.
