continue its programing serving Chemung, Schuyler and Steuben
counties and expand the opportunities for entrepreneurs to receive
support as they develop their ideas, create startups, and launch them.

network of resources to support those entrepreneurs. During that
time, 98 participants have completed the program of which 80 are in
the Southern Tier REDC. Of these entrepreneurs, 31% are BIPOC, 58%
are women and 3% are veterans. In addition, IW, as part of the New

leveraged this grant with local funding for an expanded incubator
location in Downtown Elmira, to expand services for underestimated

Works
Rev: Ithaca Startup Works (Rev) is a business incubator in Ithaca which
supports high-growth startups regardless of their industry sector. With
support from ESD, Rev will be able to continue providing mentorship,
resources, and services to help regional startups launch and grow. In

(Prototyping and Manufacturing) help bridge the gap between
prototyping to manufacturing. Once product-based startups have
developed a working prototype, they require specific expertise such as:
design for manufacturing, outsourced product production, supply chain
management and quality control. Since 2014, Rev has successfully
supported 116 startups and 124 hardware project teams and startups.
By continuing to provide startups with programming to help them
understand and navigate the manufacturing process (from prototyping
to production), they will be able to more effectively and efficiently
grow and scale there businesses here in the region.

Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (DOS LWRP)
The Department of State's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP), funded under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund, provides matching grants on a competitive basis to eligible villages, towns, cities,
and counties located along New York’s coasts or designated inland waterways for planning, design, and construction projects to revitalize communities and waterfronts. Grant categories include preparing or updating an
LWRP; preparing an LWRP Component, including a watershed management plan; updating an LWRP to mitigate future physical climate risks (UCR); and implementing an LWRP or a completed LWRP Component. This
program helps communities breathe new life into their waterfront and underused assets in ways that ensure successful and sustainable revitalization.
