This week's tool is the Town of Union's Emerging Enterprise Program (E3). As stated on the Town of Union's economic development website:
The Economic Development Department provides financial assistance to start-up and expanding businesses through the Local Development Corporation of the Town of Union. The Emerging Enterprise/Emerging Market Entrepreneurial (E³) Loan Program is one of several loan programs offered by the Local Development Corporation of the Town of Union. Assistance is also available to coordinate government and private sector resources and package business proposals. By networking with local brokers, economic development staff can also assist business contacts in identifying Town of Union sites.
The E³ Program is a key component in promoting the entrepreneurial spirit by encouraging research and development in emerging fields and/or improving upon existing technologies.

This and many other programs are available on the Union, NY website (listed above). The town is extremely business friendly, is located near major highways and is close to the PA border (which may result in gas savings, provided you do a lot of transporting). It may be something you want to look in to, if your current location is not appreciating you enough.
As always, have a great day and see you tommorow!
