ESD’s Lake Ontario Business Resiliency Program will provide $30 million in grants of up to $200,000 to eligible applicants who experienced direct physical flood-related damage due to the high-water levels from Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River in 2019. Eligible applicant types are expected to include small businesses, not-for-profit organizations, farms, homeowners’ associations and owners of rental properties.
Under the Program, grants may be available to reimburse up to 50% of an eligible applicant’s capital improvement project(s) that are designed to strengthen their business against impacts of future flooding and make their business more resilient in nature. Each project must also receive matching support from a local government totaling at least 5% of state funds to be awarded under the Program. By way of example, a resiliency project that cost $100,000 may be eligible for up to $50,000 in state reimbursements, subject to at least $2,500 in matching local contributions which are expected to include, but not be limited to, certain tax exemptions offered by Industrial Development Authorities, local government waivers of the costs of ordinarily due permits and fees, and direct expenditures by local governments on project-related infrastructure.
Please use this online form to be notified when the Lake Ontario Business Resiliency Program is open for applications. If you are an applicant with a potential project, ESD strongly recommends completing the intake form in its entirety. The valuable information you provide may be used to inform the Program’s design.
