Welcome to the “one-stop” shop for information pertaining to Chautauqua County’s START-UP NY initiative. This portal has been created to act as a repository for all current information related to Chautauqua County’s START-UP NY activities, and will be updated regularly so that the latest information is available and accessible to the public. The CCIDA staff is available to meet with you to discuss any aspect of this exciting program or other available incentives (see “CCIDA Contacts” below).
START-UP NY creates tax free zones and other incentives to businesses locating on or near approved colleges and universities throughout New York State, with the goal of attracting businesses that would not otherwise locate in the State.
