Formed by the York County Commissioners in 1967, the YCIDA continues to serve as a champion for economic development projects throughout the County. The YCIDA invests in, supports, and seeks projects that form a stronger community, create, attract and retain jobs, and build a better quality of place.
The YCIDA is a governmental entity that champions redevelopment projects and serves as a conduit issuer of tax-exempt financing within York County. The Board Members of the YCIDA are appointed by the York County Commissioners. Projects of note include the creation of three industrial parks, PeoplesBank Park, Marketview Arts, the Eden Road Logistics Center, and the ongoing renovations to the Yorktowne Hotel.
The plan is a progressive attempt to include and encourage businesses owned and led by minority, women or local entrepreneurs to compete and participate in all contracting activities financially supported by the YCIDA. All of these efforts helps to create a stronger community, create jobs and build a better quality-of-place in York County.

Active YCIDA Projects
Ballpark Commons 319-335 N. George Street
The Ballpark Commons development, in partnership with Royal Square Development & Construction and York Professional Baseball Club, will feature 20,000 sq/ft of hospitality and office space at the North George Street entrance to Downtown York, adjacent to WellSpan Park. Anticipated construction start is 2025.
The Zion Church Project
The Zion Church is located within the registered historic district “York Historic District” and is owned by the YCIDA. The current goal is to restore and rehabilitate the historically significant Zion Lutheran Church into an adaptive reuse event venue and public gathering space, to preserve the historic integrity, add ADA accessibility and life-safety, and incorporate it into the campus of the Yorktowne Hotel, bringing it back into public use. This planning phase of the project is critical. It would directly lead to the larger project of rehabilitation and interior reconstruction of the Church. Stay tuned for updates.
The Yorktowne Hotel
The YCIDA acted as the developer and champion of this important community development project, and after a 7-year historic rehabilitation, the newly redeveloped Yorktowne Hotel has returned as an economic anchor and major attraction of Downtown York and the region part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton family.
The YCIDA is working closely with the Yorktowne Hotel operator, GF Hotels, to develop the commercial ground level spaces at the Yorktowne Hotel into a street level restaurant and retail space. Stay tuned for additional details.
WellSpan Park
WellSpan Park was developed by and is owned by the YCIDA. The 5,300-seat facility is home to the York Revolution, a member of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, an independent minor league organization not affiliated with Major League Baseball.

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. 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.
Eden Road Logistics Center
In March of 2015 the YCIDA released a RFP to several large developers and real estate brokers for 58 acres of property on Eden Road in York. The YCIDA had purchased it from Harley-Davidson for redevelopment in 2009. The accepted project was the proposal submitted by NorthPoint Development of Kansas City, Missouri. In November of 2015, the Eden Road parcel was sold to NP 58, LLC, a division of North Point Development, and in September of 2016, North Point, was able to secure a tenant who will occupy 600,000 square feet of the 755,000 building. The YCIDA officially dedicated the property at an outdoor ceremony at the site on October 7, 2016.
