SIEDC Events
An SIEDC event always promises to be an experience that you will remember for years to come. We invite you to join us along with corporate representatives, elected officials, individual philanthropists and local business owners who are committed to our mission of improving Staten Island’s economy at SIEDC’s many varied events.
OUR MISSION
Since 1993, the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation (SIEDC) has served as the lead advocate for economic development on Staten Island.
The NYC Small Business Services Industrial Business Zone program provides industrial, manufacturing and transportation companies with free services such as low cost financing, incentive enrollment, navigating government and training programs for your employees.
The continued success of the NYC Small Business Services’ Industrial Business Zone program. has allowed the SIEDC to help industrial, manufacturing, and transportation companies secure financing across the borough.
We will help you identify tax abatements, access government incentives, and uncover ways for your business to save money.
The Industrial Business Zone Program has been helping SIEDC members and Staten Islanders since 2006.
Our signature projects are the core to our mission of enhancing Staten Island’s economy with projects such as the West Shore Light Rail that can propel the borough forward by providing a faster, reliable public transportation option into Manhattan. In addition, we are improving business on a more localized level through our neighborhood development projects.
The West Shore Light Rail (WSLR) could provide a reliable and attractive travel choice for Staten Island residents located in South Shore and Mid-Island communities. The WSLR would extend NJ TRANSIT’s Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system (HBLRT) over the Bayonne Bridge and into western and southern portions of Staten Island and connect to the Staten Island Railway service at the Richmond Valley Station.
SI Skyway is an urban reclamation project to create a world-class park on the abandoned North Shore railway.
In 2015, SIEDC proposed an aerial gondola system to connect Staten Island to the rest of the region and in 2016 hosted a global design competition for concepts and proposals. As a result of this work, and the selection of Leitner-Poma of America and their route between Staten Island and Bayonne, SIEDC is working with local elected officials and agencies to bring the project to fruition.
