The ECIDA is self-funded; our operating budget comes from fees, not from any taxpayer revenue source. Our tax incentives are not grants or cash given to businesses, but rather temporary "discounts" or exemptions from certain taxes if the business meets certain criteria, such as developing a building or purchasing equipment for a factory, or creating a certain number of jobs. If the business does not meet the criteria as promised, the tax incentives can be rescinded in a "claw back" provision, and the business may be required to pay back the discounted or exempted amounts.
Mission: The mission of the Erie County IDA is to provide the resources that encourage investment, innovation, growth and global competitiveness - creating a successful business climate that improves the quality of life for the residents of the region.
