Cuomo Unveils Tax Break Plan for Businesses On, Around SUNY Campuses
An initiative announced last week by Gov. Andrew Cuomo may give a ten-year tax break to new businesses that open on or in close proximity to SUNY campuses.

Under the potential program, known as "Tax-Free NY," such a business would be exempt from sales tax, property taxes, and business and corporate taxes for ten years. Cuomo said eligible businesses are those with a relationship to the university's academic mission; businesses that create new jobs or expand operations while maintaining existing jobs; and out-of-state businesses that relocate to New York. Employees of businesses that take advantage of the Tax-Free New York program would not have to pay income tax.

 According to the Tax-Free NY website, not only would the Tax-Free New York program apply to businesses located on campuses, but also it would apply to business located within the range of 200,000 square feet adjacent to campuses. Cuomo said the initiative is especially critical in upstate New York, but will apply to all SUNY campuses in New York. It requires legislative action to be adopted.
