Incentive programs here

Opportunity Zone
No
HUBZone
Yes: qualified census tract
New Markets Tax Credit
Yes: a low-income community, in deep distress

A small business with its main office in a HUBZone, and at least 35% of its employees living in one, can certify for the SBA HUBZone program’s federal contracting preferences.

Business and real estate projects here can raise New Markets Tax Credit financing through Community Development Entities (CDEs); distressed tracts are often prioritized.

Sources: SBA (HUBZones), U.S. Treasury CDFI Fund (New Markets Tax Credit tracts), NYS Department of State (Brownfield Opportunity Areas), NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (National Register). Eligibility depends on the project: confirm with the program.

Environmental checks

Ruddick's Dry Cleaners (State Superfund, no further action, 0.3 mi) ↗
National Wetlands Inventory
Mapped here: freshwater pond

Sites in NYS DEC’s remediation programs. Look them up by number in DEC’s DECinfo Locator.

Federal wetlands may need an Army Corps of Engineers permit to fill or build on.

Sources: NYS DEC (remediation sites, spill reports), Chemung County GIS (DEC wetlands and the National Wetlands Inventory). Not a site assessment: a Phase I environmental review is the standard for a purchase.
