Subsidy Snapshots
Good Jobs New York believes New Yorkers have a right to be involved in development projects in their communities. That's why we've created "Subsidy Snapshots" for all the boroughs and partnered with the Borough Presidents from The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island to provide you with a user-friendly overview of the New York City Economic Development Corporation's annual report on which companies in your neighborhood are receiving subsidies and whether they are keeping job promises. We hope these snapshots give you the tools to be a more active participant in the allocation of subsidies.
