• Market the City and NFEZ to targeted companies in the U.S. and abroad

• Seek to assist established companies to retain local jobs and to expand to assist local companies located in the NFEZ to qualify as Zone businesses to avail themselves of incentives for job creation and expansion

• 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 the Empire State Development Corporation (www.state.ny.us).
