Example structure shown for Stop 1 — Measure & Map. Matches are populated on each step page.
One roadmap, three audiences
The value is not a separate map for each group — it is a shared way to describe the same work.
Building owner / manager
Understand the sequence and economics
What comes next, what it costs, and which prerequisites were skipped.

Every stop connected to the money behind it
Owners move when the economics are clear, and service providers need that information to advance a project. The roadmap carries 49 active NYC incentive programs and 37 capital providers from the NYC Accelerator resource tracker (revision June 25, 2026), tagged to the stops they support.
Listings show potential matches only — eligibility is always confirmed with the offering body.
