Cuomo renames Start-Up NY to Excelsior Business Program
The Cuomo administration renames its job-creation initiative to Excelsior Business Program amid calls for more transparency. Start-Up NY has yielded few jobs, while officials say more than 200 companies have enrolled. The plan aims to attract grads to stay by offering 10 year tax breaks near education centers. Public disclosure rules must be preserved, including business names, locations, applicants, jobs created, and benefits. The change could affect reporting and transparency standards for the program.
