Welcome to the Hornell-Corning Steuben County Empire Zone

     The Hornell-Corning-Steuben County Empire Zone as designated in June, 2001 to stimulate job creation and new investment within identified areas within the City of Hornell and the City of Corning. The Zone Program provides a variety of New York State tax credits and incentives to qualifying businesses located within the Zone.

     Through a boundary amendment process and subject to available acreage, the Zone can be extended to qualifying businesses and associated sites throughout Steuben County. Since original designation, the Zone has been extended to include qualifying businesses within
the Towns of Avoca, Erwin, Urbanna, and the Villages of Bath and Painted Post. Contact the Zone Coordinator for additional information regarding boundary amendments.

     The City of Hornell is the governing municipality for the Zone, and the Zone has a seven member Board of Directors. The City of Hornell Industrial Development Agency administers the Zone and provides staff and technical assistance.
