ABOUT US
Our IDA provides incentive-based assistance
to encourage and help businesses start, expand, or move into our region – creating jobs for local people and driving economic activity in local communities.
We are the only two-county industrial development agency in New York State. Like all IDAs, our organization is a State Public Benefit Corporation.
The IDA also own and manage two industrial parks with parcels of varying sizes available for sale or lease.
A Two-County IDA
Although the IDA is not governed by the two counties, nor supported by taxpayer dollars, our volunteer board of directors is appointed by the boards of supervisors of the two counties, with five members from each county. Board members include local business leaders and elected officials. This diverse array of expertise and experience, coupled with our unique bi-county approach to economic development, allows us to look beyond municipal boundaries and focus on assisting projects that will benefit our entire region.
Where to Begin
Businesses interested in possible IDA assistance typically begin their discussion with IDA staff who conduct an in-depth analysis of the proposed project and determine whether the project should move forward for board review and a final determination.
