YCIDA

York County Industrial Development Authority
The York County Commissioners created the YCIDA in 1967 pursuant to Pennsylvania's Economic Development Financing Law (formerly the Industrial & Commercial Development Authority Law), for the purpose of investing in local industrial parks and job creation. YCIDA is one of three quasi-governmental organizations in the YCEDC family.

The YCIDA has been involved in the creation of three industrial parks: the York County Industrial Park (YCIP), the York City Business and Industry Park (YCBIP), and the Penn Township Industrial Park (PTIP).

The new baseball stadium located in downtown York is owned by the YCIDA and is leased to York Professional Baseball Club, LLC/York Revolution. Sovereign Bank Stadium opened on June 15, 2007, bringing professional baseball back to York after 36 years.

The YCIDA administers the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) Bond Financing Program (also known as the Industrial Revenue Bond Program [IRB]) and the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Financing Authority (PEDFA) program. Through both of these programs, eligible firms wishing to expand or relocate in York County can finance land, buildings, and associated machinery and equipment through tax-exempt industrial development bonds which are lower than conventional bank rates.
