Marketview Arts
In 2009, the York County Industrial Development Authority purchased the former Fraternal Order of Eagles building and transformed it into a downtown arts center. Through the transformation, the YCIDA aimed to offer a dynamic and constantly evolving program for local artists while providing facilities for a mixed-use group of tenants who would contribute to the Cultural District in downtown York. Located directly across from York’s historic Central Market, Marketview Arts features artist studio spaces, a unique event and multipurpose space (Gallery Hall) that is available for art shows, meetings, classes, weddings and many other events and two residential apartments. Marketview Arts also houses junior and senior level studio classes for York College students. The project was funded by the YCIDA, a RACP grant and private investors. In the 4th quarter of 2015, Marketview Arts was sold to York College of Pennsylvania.
Harley-Davidson West Campus Project
In January 2010, the YCIDA Board of Directors announced an agreement of sale with Harley-Davidson Motor Company Operations, Inc. for the purchase of 58 acres known as the West Campus. Over the next year, the YCIDA conducted its due diligence to prepare a redevelopment strategy to govern the reuse of the site. Many of the structures existing on the site were removed to make the site more marketable for redevelopment. The YCIDA closed on the 58 acre site in July 2012. In November 2015, The YCIDA sold the site to NorthPoint Development.
