On the State Level Environmental Investment Program Empire State Development Empire State Development is accepting applications for the September 2000 round of the Environmental Investment Program. The program supports projects that lead to the reuse, remanufacturing or recycling of materials otherwise destined for disposal, or lead to reductions in the volume or toxicity of waste before it is generated. Projects should enable New York State businesses and institutions to capture the economic benefits resulting from enhanced environmental improvements implemented at their facilities. Project categories include Capital Investment, Technical Assistance and Research, Development and Demonstration.
Eligibility varies according to project category.
For Capital Investment and Technical Assistance projects, eligible applicants include non-profit corporations and municipalities applying on behalf of New York businesses. Applicants must be in compliance with regulations at the time of award. Projects have different matching fund requirements. Requests should include name, company, street address, phone and fax numbers and e-mail address. Funds may be used for acquisition, development and improvement of parks, historic properties and the Heritage Areas System.
