Overview

RIDC is a major force in economic development in Southwestern Pennsylvania, transforming properties that were a part of the region’s past into homes for companies that are driving the economy of the future, ranging from robotics to manufacturing, from home-grown start-ups to large multi-national corporations.

RIDC supports charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, educational, training, community development, community conservation and other public services.

We have a flexible model that emphasizes partnership with our tenants and occupants of our parks, seeking to meet their unique needs through development and sale of property, leasing space that accommodates companies throughout their life-cycles, and helping to arrange significant amounts of financing.

Financing

RIDC can assist companies with the available financing programs through local, state, and federal entities. Financing is available for environmental assessment & remediation, infrastructure construction, building construction, equipment, and working capital. RIDC can also assist companies with low interest financing available through the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority.
