News • Lower Manhattan • New York City • United States • 2012-12-12
Given the disruption caused by Hurricane Sandy, the Take the H.E.L.M. competition deadline has been extended to December 31. The remaining schedule of the competition will remain the same, and winners will still be announced in March.
The competition administrators have also announced a fifth prize prioritized for a current Lower Manhattan business seeking to expand. All winners will receive $250,000 each, with priority for one prize given to an existing Lower Manhattan company, and priority for a second prize given to a start-up.
The Downtown Alliance is excited to share with you a new, local competition to encourage businesses to hire and expand in Lower Manhattan. Officially launched last week by the New York City Economic Development Corporation, “Take the H.E.L.M.: Hire + Expand in Lower Manhattan” is a contest for businesses to join other innovative companies that have recently opened or expanded office space in Lower Manhattan. Take the H.E.L.M. is open to any enterprise with plans to open, expand or relocate their offices in Lower Manhattan in the next twelve months.

Check out the latest news coverage about Take the H.E.L.M. here and here.

Take the H.E.L.M. is currently open for submissions; deadline to apply is December 31, 2012. Eligible businesses will be asked to submit applications and the competition will employ a multi-stage evaluation process, with the chance for finalists to win one of 5 grand prizes.
