See ESL. ), an agency of the State of New York, is empowered with maintaining and attracting industrial and commercial development. The ESD is recognized as one of the most professional and energetic among all of the states in the union, however, they are swimming against a strengthening tide. From textile to chip manufacturing, factory square footage growth has shrunk with a growing number of International companies choosing off-shore locations for their manufacturing sites. To counter this trend, the ESD has created Empire Zoned Districts, which provide wage tax credits, investment tax and employment incentive credits, new business refunds, utility rate savings, zoned capital credits, and technical assistance. These and other benefits such as the creation of Federal Empowerment Zones, Brownfield Tax Credits, workforce training assistance, export assistance, and loan discounts, have collectively failed to overcome the wage-rate disparity between New York State and Asia.

Roth Industries: North Central, Upstate Jefferson County is known for their Thousand Islands and has attracted Roth Industries for the manufacturing of double wall fuel storage tanks. In Chenango County, their pro-growth policies have continued to retain companies such as Norwich Pharmaceuticals, Raymond Corporation, Mead Westvaco, and Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals. In the greater Binghamton area, companies such as Lockheed Martin, Gannett, Link Simulation and Training, Maines Paper & Food, Rockwell Collins, BAE Systems, and Frito Lay, have an established and growing presence.

Possibly, if the mantra of growth at any price loses its allure, a stable but smaller manufacturing and commercial economic base throughout New York State may have enduring value for those that shun the social instability brought on by rapid growth.
