Welcome to CEDA

CEDA is chartered to provide “First Stop” assistance to businesses of all sizes and to support business retention, expansion and relocation. The principle of the “First Stop” is to provide businesses with a single source for business development resources. In order to fulfill the “First Stop” mission, CEDA is located at Two State Street in Auburn, New York alongside the Cayuga County Chamber of Commerce, SCORE – America’s Business Counselors and the NYS Small Business Development Center.

CEDA operates under a contract with Cayuga County to serve as the lead point of contact for businesses seeking normal assistance or specific retention and relocation services. The 15 member Board of Directors, the majority of which represent the private business and development sectors in Cayuga County, is balanced by key members of County and City of Auburn government, the Cayuga County Chamber of Commerce and the County’s two Industrial Development Authorities.
