The County of Lewis Industrial Development Agency (LCIDA) was established in 1973 by an act of the New York State Legislature as a self funded public benefit corporation. The agency was created to attract and enhance industrial and economic development. The LCIDA provides financial assistance to qualified applicants (the "Company") in order to promote: the economic welfare, prosperity, and recreational opportunities for residents of Lewis County. Anyone considering a building project or other economic development activity within the county begins with a call to the LCIDA. The agency has the ability to undertake: industrial research, manufacturing, warehousing, commercial, industrial pollution control, ecreation, horse racing, railroad, educational, cultural, civic facilities, life care community projects, and to issue bonds, either tax exempt or taxable, to help finance such projects. We live in an exciting era of economic change on state, national, and global levels. Our agency, along with other county organizations and officials, is taking steps to ensure that we make good use of these new opportunities. We are concentrating on building awareness, both inside and outside the area, of the many advantages our county has to offer, and showing businesses and individuals how to benefit from these strengths. Every Lewis County citizen is an advocate of economic growth. We commend the industries that are operating profitably in Lewis County. It is they, with their foresight, planning, and hard work, along with agencies like ours who are creating long term, good paying jobs, that foster the positive economic atmosphere of our wonderful area.
