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 Upstate Revitalization Initiative

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.
