 In a 2014 video, Greg Heiland sounds almost giddy at the prospect of settling down in the Empire State.
"Why is our Arizona-based company relocating to New York? I tell people it's the climate," Heiland says in the video produced to tout Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Start-Up NY program, which offers a 10-year tax holiday to certain new businesses coming to the state, or existing businesses expanding here.

But three years after the video, there’s no indication that the Phoenix-based company is moving its operations here.
In a recent interview, Heiland wouldn’t say how many of his company's estimated 25 employees are based in New York. And he couldn’t offer a date for when he might transfer any jobs here.
