Where does the information come from?
Only from public records: municipal planning and zoning board agendas, minutes and legal notices, county planning board referrals (under NY General Municipal Law §239), and industrial development agency agendas. Every lead links to the document it came from.
How is this different from a bid board?
Bid boards list projects once they're out to bid, when every competitor sees them at the same moment. We track projects from their first appearance before a planning board, often months earlier, while owners are still choosing engineers and contractors.
How current is it?
Every source is checked every night. New projects go out in the Monday digest, and major projects or approvals can go out as an instant alert the same day they appear.
How accurate is it?
We read the records with AI and keep the original wording, so you can check every lead against the source in one click. Summaries and stage estimates can be incomplete, and municipal records themselves change. Always confirm with the municipality or applicant before you bid or make a decision.
Do you include contact information?
We include the applicant and the engineer of record when the record names them. Where we can confirm it on a firm's own website, we add its public business phone or general inbox. We never publish private individuals' details. When an applicant is a private person, we don't name them.
Can I choose which projects I get?
Yes. Choose your counties, project types (commercial, multifamily, subdivisions, solar and industrial) and a minimum project size, so a firm that only wants 20,000 SF and up never sees a garage addition.
What happens after the free pilot?
It simply ends. Nothing is charged, and you don't need to cancel anything. If you'd like to continue, you choose a plan and pay through our secure payment processor.
How do I cancel a paid plan?
Email leads@northwayleads.com or reply to any digest. No phone call, no retention runaround. Your service runs to the end of the month you paid for, and you won't be charged again.
Is it legal to use this information?
Yes. These are public records that New York municipalities publish so the public can take part. Your subscription is for your own firm's business development; please contact the businesses you find in a lawful, professional way.
