NYSEDC Project of the Year Nomination Form
The NYSEDC Project of the Year is presented to an organization that has completed a project that serves the mission of the NYSEDC, to promote the economic development of the state and its communities. 
Each nomination will be evaluated on the following criteria:
  • Project's impact on the community (i.e., overall tax base, cross community/multi-agency collaboration, rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse of existing buildings, especially historic properties)
  • Project's tangible and intangible results (i.e., did the project result in policies, programs, ideas that assisted in developing processes, products, and services into viable competitive businesses; were there resultant improvements to neighborhoods and/or business districts, especially in distressed areas)
  • Project replicability and transferability (i.e., can the project, program or policy be easily applied in other communities; is there a spin-off effect)
  • Project innovation and productivity (i.e., was the project cost effective; did it include land acquisition; did it involve a public-private partnership; did it address a globalization issue; does it align with regional economic development strategies, create efficiencies, or address environmental sustainability issues)
  • Project job retention/creation (i.e., how many jobs were created or retained; how do the salary levels compare to the median wage for similar occupations in the local community/region)
