The YCIDA administers the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) Bond Financing Program (also known as the Industrial Revenue Bond Program [IRB]) and the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority (PEDFA) Program. Through both of these funding options, 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.
The YCIDA also champions redevelopment projects within York County from time to time. Projects of note include the creation of three industrial parks, Sovereign Bank Stadium, and Harley-Davidson West Campus.
