Since its inception more than 36 years ago, the primary objective of the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) has been to position the county as a world-class business environment offering an exceptional quality-of-life experience. Together with the Chautauqua County Department of Economic Development and two Empire Zones, CCIDA is the principal force attracting new business and industry to the area, and the "partner" whose support is relied upon by existing companies. Among its more traditional services, CCIDA helps businesses secure financial assistance, provides business advocacy services and develops both infrastructure and industrial parks -- all of which enhance the county's economic picture. Results of these efforts include increased employment, a greater infusion of capital into the local economy and an improved quality of life.
