\"\"<\/a>Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency<\/strong> officials report 2022 was an “epic” year for Chautauqua County.<\/p>\n

CCIDA CEO and Deputy County Executive for Economic Development Mark Geise<\/strong> presented the 2022 Annual Report on the CCIDA<\/strong> to the Board on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He said the IDA Board<\/strong> had approved more than 50 projects in 2022, which included the approval of business loans, development project incentives, and the procurement of grants, “We approved in 2022, either through loans or grants or PILOT incentives, over $500 million. Last year (2021), I believe it was over $140 million. It’s over $500 million this year. We did nine Al-Tech<\/strong> loans<\/strong>. We did eight EDA CARES Act<\/strong> loans. We secured $2.8 million in grant funds.”<\/p>\n

Geise said 363 full time jobs were created with 774 being retained in 2022. He said the projects also will create hundreds of temporary construction jobs.<\/p>\n

He also discussed the Chautauqua County Partnership for Economic Growth<\/strong>, which was formed in 2019 as an initiative of the CCIDA\u2019s non-profit subsidiary, the Chautauqua Region Economic Development Corporation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Geise said the organization supports the five pillars of economic development, “We need to be thinking about place making, creating communities that people want to live. We need to be thinking about infrastructure – water lines, sewer lines, electric. We need to be thinking about house – creating housing that meets the needs and demands of talent. We’ve got to have the right housing stock. And workforce development, of course. We talk to businesses every day, ‘I need people.'”<\/p>\n

Geise said CCPEG provided over $420,000 in financial assistance and technical assistance to support several dozen partner-led projects and initiatives. In addition, the Partnership was awarded nine grants in 2022, totaling over $1.4 Million, and leveraged an additional $7.5 Million on behalf of its partners.<\/p>\n

Geise said his goals for 2023 include acquiring land for expansion of shovel-ready sites; and re-activating several key vacant buildings, including the Furniture Mart Building<\/strong> in Jamestown, Truck-Lite<\/strong> Building in the Town of Ellicott, and the Lenhart Hotel<\/strong> in Bemus Point.<\/p>\n

He also wants to develop a marketing and branding strategy for the county to help address population decline and supply businesses with talent.<\/p>\n
