Throughout its 45+ year history, SEDC has worked closely on behalf of Project Applicants with Industrial Development Agencies in Saratoga County; Saratoga County IDA, Clifton Park IDA and the Mechanicville-Stillwater IDA. These agencies are constituted government authorities, supported by volunteer members who meet on a regular basis, typically monthly.

The primary role and responsibilities of these agencies are to provide financial assistance and incentives to the business development community to maximize private capital investment in the economy of Saratoga County and to develop opportunities for job creation and job retention throughout the County with the use of their own assets, public funds and private investment.
