Small Business Sewer Infrastructure Financial Assistance

The Pilot Program for Small Business Sewer Infrastructure Financial Assistance (SIFA) was created through Suffolk County Resolution No. 346-2023 (and further amended by Suffolk County Resolution Nos. 196-2024 and 637-2024).
  • The Program provides financial assistance to small business owners in an amount up to $15,000 to offset the cost to connect their business to Suffolk County Sewer District facilities. To qualify, a business must have 25 employees or fewer.
  • The Program is only available to small business owners that own the property on which the businesses is operating or qualifying tenants that can show that they are legally responsible for the provision and cost of the sewer connection of the property as set forth within Resolution No. 346-2023, as amended. Business must be located within an existing Suffolk County Sewer District.
  • The property cannot currently be connected to a County Sewer District or, if connected, it must have done so on or after May 9, 2023 (the effective date of the Program) and must sufficiently document eligible Program costs. Program funds will only be provided to reimburse costs which have been paid.
Only applications in final form will be reviewed. To be considered in final form, an application must be fully completed, with all required documentation submitted through the SIFA Application Portal, by mail or hand delivery to:

Suffolk County Department of
Economic Development and Planning
Attention: SIFA Program
100 Veterans Memorial Highway, 2nd Floor

Applications will be reviewed in the order in which they are received in final form. Once an application is approved, the applicant is required to enter into a grant agreement with the County in order to receive grant funding. Grants will be awarded only to the extent Program funds remain available. Any applicant that is not approved due to the unavailability of Program funds may request to have their application added to a wait list and reconsidered in the event additional funding becomes available.
