Development Funding Through
Regional Councils.
State Small Business Credit Initiative
Earlier this year, Governor Andrew M.
Cuomo signed legislation that established the use of
State
Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) funds for three
economic development programs. These programs will enable
small businesses to leverage new capital and credit to help
them create private sector jobs.
The SSBCI is part of President Obama’s
Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which supports state-level
small business credit programs.
New York’s access to $55.4 million in SSBCI funds is
expected to generate over $554 million in new private
capital for small businesses.
