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.

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 two virtual office hours via Zoom before the CFA deadline on Friday, July 29th at 4pm sharp.  Please join us on either July 6th or July 20th at 10am for an overview of economic development programs and an opportunity to have your questions answered live by our team.
