Hudson Valley Tax Free 10 Years for Business


|
| New York State's Empire Zones Program can make Hudson Valley virtually tax free for 10 years for qualifying businesses. Thanks to powerful new legislation that extends the economic development incentive program until June 2011 and allows companies with "regionally significant" projects to locate outside of designated zones, the EZ program is now stronger and more flexible than ever.
Companies with projects that meet threshold requirements for new jobs and investment can now locate just about anywhere and still receive full EZ benefits.
