Please note the following:
Approved projects in certain programs (e.g. Restore New York Communities Initiative, Community Development Financial Institution Program, Regional Council Capital Fund, Urban and Community Development Program) or for certain purposes (e.g. worker training, marketing, research and development, loan funds, infrastructure) are intended to enhance productivity, afford access to capital for smaller or disadvantaged businesses, advance targeted industries or regional priorities, or improve infrastructure or communities. In some of these instances, job creation is not a primary goal and thus is not tracked.
Initial Jobs is the baseline employment number.
Retained Jobs indicates when some or all of a company’s jobs were in jeopardy of being lost, typically through plant closures or companies moving out of the state.
Created Jobs indicates anticipated job growth over a one- to five-year horizon.

SECTION 4: IMPACT OF APPROVED PROJECTS ON DISTRESSED URBAN
AND RURAL COMMUNITIES, SMALL- AND MEDIUM-SIZED
BUSINESSES AND STRATEGIC INDUSTRIES
For each project with funding exceeding $100,000 and the goal of creating or retaining jobs, ESD staff prepares an analysis of the benefits and costs that accrue to New York State based on income and sales tax revenues that are expected to be generated by direct and indirect jobs (e.g. construction). Summary information is provided below, and the attached Project Lists indicate this information where relevant (projects without construction or job creation indicate “N/A”). Individual analyses are attached in the appendix.
Distressed Urban and Rural Communities Of the 82 recipients of funding approved by ESD in the 2nd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2018-19, 17 recipients (21%) were located in distressed communities. Of these 82 recipients,
12 (15% of total funding recipients) were located in a distressed rural community 5 (6% of total funding recipients) were located in distressed urban communities
Small- and Medium-sized Businesses Of the 110 recipients of funding approved by ESD in the 2nd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2018-19, 22 (20%) were small or medium-sized businesses or organizations.
Strategic Industries Of the 110 projects approved by ESD in the 2nd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2018-19, the following industries were represented:
Industry Percentage of Total Funding # of Project(s)
Arts Culture & Entertainment <1% 5
Broadband 48% 30
Education <1% 2
Food & Beverage Manufacturing/Distribution <1% 3
Health <1% 4
Machinery & Miscellaneous Manufacturing 6% 14
Municipal /Government/Not-For-Profit 25% 27 Real Estate Development 1.2% 4 Technology/Scientific Research & Development 18% 5 Tourism/Hospitality <1% 3
Please note the following:
To determine if a project is in a distressed area, Department of Labor information was used to determine whether the county’s unemployment rate was above 4.7% (the New York State unemployment average for the year 2017). Projects located in an Empire Zone, a Federally-designated Enterprise Community or a Federally-designated Empowerment Zone are also included. “Urban” projects are located in New York State’s 62 designated cities; other projects are considered “Rural.”
A company is considered small- or medium-sized if it employs fewer than 500 persons.

APPENDIX: FISCAL BENEFIT TO COST EVALUATIONS
Where impact was quantifiable, the projects that were analyzed yield an overall Fiscal Benefit to Cost ratio of 2.13. This means that for each dollar of New York State government subsidy, such as tax exemptions or abatements on sales, property and interest income, there was a return to the tax base of $2.13.
Total Projects
Please note the following: Benefit Cost Evaluations are used in evaluating projects that are categorized as Business
Investment, Infrastructure Investment, and Economic Growth Investment and that involve 1) job retention and/or creation and/or 2) construction-related activity. Unlike typical ESD Business Investment projects, which involve direct job creation and retention, Infrastructure Investment (e.g. the development or expansion of basic systems and facilities, including transportation, water and sewer, communication, energy generation and distribution, and parking facilities) and Economic Growth Investment (e.g. projects that foster economic growth through cultural activity, higher education activity, regional revolving loan and grant programs, other local or regional initiatives, agribusiness initiatives, marketing activities, training or education programs, or technical assistance) may not involve permanent job commitments. Such projects generate long-term benefits not captured in the period of analysis. This is reflected in the Benefit Cost Evaluations as compared to benchmarks developed for Infrastructure Investment and Economic Growth Investment projects.
For funding awards under $100,000, only the total benefit is provided rather than a full
evaluation.

Benefit-Costs Evaluations are used in evaluating projects that are categorized as Business Investment, Infrastructure Investment, and Economic Growth Investment and that involve 1) job retention and/or creation and/or 2) construction-related activity. For Business Investment projects, benefits reported in the table below typically reflect the impact of both jobs and construction-related activity. For Infrastructure Investment and Economic Growth Investment projects, which generate long-term benefits not captured in the period of analysis and may involve no permanent job commitments, the table typically reflects only construction-related activity. Benchmarks for each type of project are noted in the footnotes.

York State government assistance alone and for State and Local government. 2 The current project evaluation results (both fiscal and economic) are compared to performance measure benchmarks
based on results of a sample of ESD non-retail projects. Business Investment project benchmarks are 7.00 (Fiscal) and 75.00 (Economic). Infrastructure Investment (or Economic Growth Investment) project benchmarks are 3.00 (Fiscal) and 30.00 (Economic). 3 Fiscal cost includes the value of grants, loans and associated default risks, and discretionary subsidies (such as tax
exemptions or abatements on sales, property, and interest income). 4 Fiscal benefits are the loan repayments and tax revenues to New York State and Local governments generated by
project activity. This includes estimated taxes on personal incomes from project direct and indirect employment, corporate and business incomes, excise and user taxes, property taxes, and other taxes. 5 Economic benefits are estimated project benefits measuring fiscal flows to government plus net resident disposable
income from project direct and indirect employment net of transfers, without adjusting for individual income earners’ opportunity cost of employment.
The Albany Distilling Company, Inc. Evaluated over a seven-year period, project fiscal benefits to New York State government are expected to be $613,150, which exceed the cost to the State.
