your local IDA

Local values. Forward vision.

"Local values. Forward vision." It’s our approach at the Seneca County IDA (SENIDA). We personalize our financial incentives and related support to make it simple for businesses to locate and expand in Seneca County. With our broad range of knowledge and aggressive attention to detail, SENIDA helps companies explore and discover opportunities in Seneca County—and then we put the details in place for a smooth, simple transition and long-term success in the new or expanded location.

In the past five years, SENIDA has:

• Instituted a strong Empire Zone program
• Provided PILOT Increment Financing, resulting in infrastructure development (water/sewer) that now serves both the projects and the community at large
• Enabled redevelopment efforts at the former Seneca Army Depot including public projects (Five Points, Seneca County Jail, State Trooper training facilities), private investment (Finger Lakes Technology Group, Top Quality Hay Processors, Advantage Group) and Not-for-Profits (Hillside Children’s Center)
• Aided growth of tourism and wine industries
• Supported development of Deer Run Industrial Park
