Niagara Falls Empire Zone 
Office of Economic Development, City of Niagara Falls, NY

The Niagara Falls Empire Zone (NFEZ) and the Office of Economic Development aim to foster business and industrial development in the City of Niagara Falls. To accomplish this, we:

• Market the City and NFEZ to targeted companies in the U.S. and abroad
• Assist the established companies to retain local jobs and to expand
• Assist firms located in the Empire Zone to qualify as Zone businesses to avail themselves of incentives for job creation and expansion
• Provide technical support and assistance to firms seeking to expand into or relocate to the City
• Provide economic information and technical assistance required by investors from the inquiry phase to the successful completion of a new project
• Maintain an inventory of available buildings and sites
• Develop efficient funding sources for potential economic development projects
• Promote the growth of light industry and tourism, working with other public team members such as the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency (www.ncida.org) and Empire State Development Corporation (www.state.ny.us).
