Incentive programs here

Opportunity Zone
No
HUBZone
Yes: qualified census tract
New Markets Tax Credit
Yes: a low-income community, in severe distress
National Register
Listed: Elmira College Old Campus (1984)

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.

Income-producing buildings that are listed, or contribute to a listed district, may qualify for the 20% federal historic rehabilitation tax credit and New York’s state credit. Whether a building contributes is decided by the State Historic Preservation Office.

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.
