Database of Deals
Good Jobs New York’s Database of Deals brings together over 25,000 subsidy deals from the New York City Industrial Development Agency (IDA) and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC).
How to Search : You can search using one or more of the following data fields:
- Company: search will show any firms that begin with the letters or words entered
- Subsidy Program: use the dropdown menu to choose one of the subsidy programs
- Year: use the dropdown to limit search results to the year a company was awarded a subsidy
- Borough: narrow down subsidy recipients by a particular borough
- Awarding Agency: chose IDA or CRC or ESDC/LMDC
A note on sources: The data comes from two public authorities: New York City Industrial Development Agency and the Empire State Development Corporation and its subsidiary the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (the LMDC was created in the wake of the September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center). The LMDC data was obtained through Freedom of Information Law requests.
All data is current as of fiscal year 2010. The most recent subsidy data, from fiscal year 2011 and dating back to Fiscal Year 2006, is now available in downloadable spreadsheets, directly from the IDA's website.
The data for IDA projects was manually entered into an Excel database by GJNY staff from Annual Projects Reports of the New York City Economic Development Corporation (now known as Local Law 62, and previously as Local Law 48 and Local Law 69) in some cases as far back from 2000. IDA data reflects only the amount of the city subsidy, but for some commercial firms that received more than $1million we include the value of state subsidies in the notes section. Reporting standards on IDA projects have changed dramatically over the past few years making public information on deals approved prior to 2001 unreliable; any data we have uncovered is in the notes section. We will update data when possible.
