WESTCHESTER
In Westchester, it’s easy to tout the many reasons that make our County stand out above the rest as a tremendous place to live, work and play. We’re always about taking the next step towards economic development and growth in our communities, and this Spotlight on Westchester clearly demonstrates that.
We are proud to have developed a culture in Westchester as a place where innovation thrives. While we are strategically located just outside of New York City, life here isn’t all about our big neighbor to the south. With our picturesque views, beautiful parks and landscapes, and bustling downtowns and business districts, we have grown into a beautiful tapestry of more than one million people who greatly contribute to our economic development.
We are home to a distinct and diverse corporate roster, which has allowed our strong economy to excel above the rest. From IBM—a great multinational corporation, to financial services companies like MasterCard, to consumer products from PepsiCo, to the biotech and health care boom powered by companies like Regeneron Pharmaceuticals – our business district has something for everyone.
The County recently established its Clean Energy Accelerator program to identify ways to increase training opportunities and ways to produce more talent to help our clean energy solution providers grow. The clean energy industry is booming with state, federal and utility incentives, creating more career opportunities at every education level. By expanding Westchester County’s capacity in this sector, we have seen a tremendous benefit to both current and future employers, as well as our residents.
Our office of Economic Development is constantly introducing new programs to aid our fiercely talented workforce, and we are working in lockstep with our chambers of commerce in all of our municipalities in Westchester. We are always searching for new ways to improve the experience for our businesses, and help our startups, small and mid-sized companies succeed.
We consistently reach beyond our borders, welcoming fresh ideas from all industries. With this wonderful feature in one of the city’s leading business publications, I invite you to learn more about why Westchester truly
has it all.
Sincerely,
George Latimer
Westchester County Executive
