The application portal opens in October 2022 but now is the time to prepare your application for the $200 Million that will be available for capital grant funding and determine which of the three tracks your project fits in to.
Track A - FAST NY Shovel-Ready Certification This no-cost designation by ESD for site-marketing purposes establishes that the applicant has worked proactively with New York State (the “State”) to address all major permitting issues prior to a business expressing interest in the location.
Track B - FAST NY Pre-Development Grants Working capital grants of up to $500,000 per site will be awarded to fund the cost of necessary pre-development site planning and reviews for future shovel-ready sites. Grants will fund necessary costs to assist grantees in completing pre-development activities, such as those required for FAST NY Shovel-Ready Certification.
Track C - FAST NY Infrastructure Improvements Capital grants will be awarded to improve the shovel-readiness of existing, mature sites by funding infrastructure improvements such as water, sewer, transportation, electricity, gas and other capital-eligible site improvement costs. Competitive grant awards will be available to sites that have substantially met the requirements of FAST NY Shovel-Ready certification.

Read articleThe Health Foundation for Western & Central New York built a fund specifically for nonprofits destabilized by public funding changes, then received more than 100 applications for 16 grants. The award structure — $100,000 unrestricted plus a separate $400,000 capacity-building pool — is the emerging template for regional health philanthropy in 2026, and it is nowhere near large enough to replace what was lost.
