WELCOME
Dear Business Leader:
Whether you call Westchester County home, work here or are a frequent visitor – Westchester County is the perfect place for your business. From our scenic beauty, to our strategic location just north of New York City, to our nearly one million residents, Westchester provides a thriving economic climate for hard-working small businesses, fast growing mid-sized companies and large corporations. From our towns and villages with a “small town” feel, to our urban centers, Westchester County truly has it all.
What I am most proud of is our County’s population, brimming with successful, committed people of diverse backgrounds, experiences and talents.
Our plans to explore a new biotech frontier with the 99-year lease of the North 60 Project, our thriving healthcare sector, booming food and beverage industry, and goals to advance renewable energy and green business are just some of the reasons to bring your business here. We are in the midst of an opportunity to grow – and grow fast. The County’s real estate market is booming, including repurposing existing corporate space, construction of mixed-use residential developments and biotech expansion.
The Westchester County Office of Economic Development, along with the Industrial Development Agency and Local Development Corporation, offers business resources and a wide range of incentives to help attract and retain businesses and talent to Westchester.
Let this guide show you exactly how Westchester businesses thrive here. We hope this serves as a valuable resource for you and your business, as you continue to look at all the opportunities Westchester offers.
Sincerely,
George Latimer
Westchester County Executive
