WELCOME
DEAR BUSINESS LEADER:
Choosing the right place to launch, relocate or expand are three of the most important decisions you can make for your business.
The 2017 Westchester County Economic Development Guide shows West- chester Works for 31,000 businesses - and if your business isn’t already on the list, we’d like to put you there. The county’s key strengths include:
Talent: Westchester is the most educated county in the United States, with 47 percent of residents over the age of 25 holding a bachelor’s degree or higher.
Value: Our office space is priced at less than half of that of New York City.
Quality of Life: Bustling cities, quaint villages, outstanding schools, unlimited shopping, and thousands of acres of parks and open space make Westchester a prime place to work, live and play.
Access: Just minutes from Manhattan, Westchester offers convenient connections via multiple roadways, rail lines, and a leading regional airport.
In this guide, leaders from Heineken and IAC Applications; the Westchester Medical Center Health Network; and a host of successful entrepreneurs explain how Westchester Works for their businesses, careers and families.
Our team at the Office of Economic Development is ready to connect you with the resources, capital and support to help you grow in our great county. If you’re ready to learn more, please contact our Office of Economic Development, at 914-995-2943 or simply visit us at WestchesterSmart.com. Westchester can work for you.
Sincerely,
Robert P. Astorino
