The Babylon IDA offers various community resources to support local businesses and residents, from job training and workforce development to financial assistance programs. These resources help foster economic inclusivity, boost local business resilience, and enhance community engagement. Our resources extend beyond business incentives, offering programs in workforce development, environmental sustainability, and public service that foster economic inclusivity and resilience. Through partnerships and targeted financial assistance, we aim to build a connected and thriving community across the Town of Babylon, helping local businesses grow while enhancing community well-being.
The Babylon Economic Inclusion Program (EIP) is a Babylon IDA initiative that epitomizes what we do: promoting business development within the geographic boundaries of the Town of Babylon. Visit the Babylon EIP website here.
Babylon is one of the most diverse towns on Long Island; the Babylon EIP has been set up to take advantage of this diversity. The Empire State Minority- Women- Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) Program is a NY State program that “expands opportunities for minority and women entrepreneurs to access government contracts and grow their businesses.” The purpose of the Babylon EIP is to facilitate the connection between local entrepreneurs and the many resources available through the MWBE program. This may include funding, business advice, tax guidance and more.

Delays in getting required approvals can add thousands to the cost of an expansion, move or development project. At the Babylon IDA, we’ve cut the red tape and fast-tracked the approval process. We even work with town and county agencies to give you “up-front” feedback on your proposed plans. That helps cut approval time even further. That saves time. And in business, time saved is money saved.
