To give state and local economic developers an edge in the keen competition to attract businesses, New York State has developed the concept of pre-permitting sites. By having communities select and prepare sites for specifically targeted economic development, potential time delays posed by the permitting and environmental review processes can be turned into advantages. This approach is the essence of New York's Semi-NY and Build Now-NY programs.
