New York State Subsidy Tracker

Tracking the State’s Growing Portfolio of Business Subsidies

Columbia County

Businesses received $4.9M in subsidies.

Businesses in Columbia County received at least $4.9M in subsidies between 2011 and 2014 from state and local governments.

Note: For cases in which the time period is marked “total,” the subsidy value is the total lifetime amount the company will receive for the project. For all other subsidies, the amount listed is the total for that year.

For subsidies that require annual reports, companies promise to create a total number of jobs over the course of the subsidy, which may last many years. Each year, companies report how many jobs they've created cumulatively as of that year. Therefore, not all jobs figures can be combined.

Source: Data on subsidies from the Excelsior Jobs Program, Industrial Development Agencies and Local Development Corporations are sourced from New York’s open data portal. IDA data accessed on July 21, 2016. LDC data accessed on Feb. 21, 2017. All other program data sourced from agency reports and Freedom of Information requests to Empire State Development, the state’s economic development arm, and other state agencies.

Methodology: Read our methodology for collecting the data.

Notes:

Except where otherwise noted, data is for subsidies granted or given out between 2011 and 2014 under the above-named programs. While these programs comprise a significant cross-section of the state’s growing portfolio of economic development programs, they don’t include every subsidy dollar.

Subsidies tracked include grants, tax breaks, low-cost leases and discounted power allocations given out under each program; loans and bond issues are excluded from the data because they have to be repaid.

The number of corporate subsidiaries reflects only the subsidiaries we were able to verify though our research. Companies may have more connections with other companies not listed in the data.

IDA and LDC subsidies are given out by local entities; all other programs are administered by New York State.
