About the Regional Economic Development Councils
To support the Governor's plans to improve New York's business climate and stimulate economic growth, 10 Regional Economic Development Councils were recently created. Through a performance-based, community-driven approach, Regional Councils will design a strategic economic development model for their areas and use the CFA as the primary support mechanism to work with eligible applicants to advance projects that demonstrate the greatest potential for job creation and economic opportunity.
