County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency

The County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) is an economic development organization authorized and empowered by the State of New York to make Chautauqua County a better place to work, live, and visit. We facilitate development by attracting new businesses, while promoting the retention and expansion of existing businesses. Assistance in the forms of incentives – tax abatements, low interest loans, and bond financing – enhances the opportunities for job creation and retention by our businesses. CCIDA's partner agency is Chautauqua Region Economic Development Corporation (CREDC). CREDC acts as a mechanism for undertaking projects and initiatives related to collaborative county-wide economic development. The Chautauqua County Partnership for Economic Growth (CCPEG) is a program of CREDC that receives input and guidance from a volunteer advisory board, consisting of leaders from both the private and public sector, representing various communities from across Chautauqua County. It is able to achieve its goals and objectives, including assisting dozens of its community partners, with a small support staff, assistance from Chautauqua County Department of Planning & Development, and the help of five separate Work Groups composed of members from across the county. These Work Groups include: Business Development, Placemaking, Workforce Development, Housing, and Infrastructure.
