Main Street Programs
YCIDA
The York county Industrial Development Authority invests in local industrial parks and projects throughout York County that facilitate job creation. Projects of note include creation of three industrial parks, the Yorktowne Hotel historic redevelopment, development and ownership of WellSpan Park, redevelopment and creation of Marketview Arts and redevelopment of the Harley-Davidson West Campus.

RACY
RACY works to redevelop blighted industrial sites and to forge innovative strategies for redevelopment projects throughout York County. Projects include Keystone Weaving Mills and Hanover Shoe, and most recently the Codorus Greenway project.
YCLBA
A Land Bank is another tool in the redevelopment toolbox for York County’s 72 municipalities. This Authority was created to help facilitate the conversion of vacant and/or tax delinquent properties and to bring them back into productive use and back onto the tax rolls. Each property or project provides a different economic development opportunity and will have a strategically planned outcome, whether housing, green space, or parking, the outcome will be its own particular highest and best use.
