Long Island Regional Economic Development Council

The Long Island Regional Economic Development Council (LIREDC) serves as an economic advisory board for the Long Island Region.

Round XII opened on May 2, 2022 and includes core capital grant and tax-credit funding to be combined with a wide range of programs from various state agencies that will provide funding for prospective projects. A few important points on this latest round of economic development funding:

• The deadline for many applications is Friday, July 29 at 4 pm sharp.
• Open enrollment programs are not subject to the July 29 deadline and will continue to accept applications on an ongoing basis until funds are exhausted.
• This year many planning and infrastructure programs will not be scored by the Long Island REDC. To learn more about these programs, click on the "Standalone CFA Programs" link below.

This year agencies will be hosting live webinars with Q&A for their programs going through the Round 12 CFA. This includes both REDC programs and Standalone programs. As these webinars are scheduled we will continue to update the list so please check back regularly. 

The documents below will provide helpful information about Round XII Funding available. When you are ready to apply for funding you can start your application here.

Empires State Development will hold virtual office hours via Zoom every other Wednesday at 10am from May 11th - July 20th to provide an overview of economic development programs and technical assistance to interested applicants.
