About Us

The Wyoming County Industrial Development Agency (WCIDA) works alongside other county agencies and affiliates (WCBAC and WCBC) to act as the lead entity in providing economic development services. The WCIDA acts as a coordinating agency for a variety of corporate financing and incentive programs offered by local, regional, state and federal agencies. The WCIDA keeps abreast of the available programs and provides assistance to businesses should they choose to apply for such financing. In some instances, the WCIDA also acts as the official conduit for the funds.

The Wyoming County IDA (WCIDA) is a public benefit corporation established in 1974 under New York State legislation and regulation. The agency is governed by a seven member volunteer Board of Directors who are appointed by the Wyoming County Board of Supervisors. The Executive Director / CEO, selected by the IDA Board, manages daily operations.

Funding

Funding for WCIDA activities is provided through project fees charged to business participants, interest earned on investments, and occasional government grants.
