Funding Your Business
Capital is the fuel for business growth, innovation, and job creation.
While the Cambria County Industrial Development Authority (CCIDA) does not lend money directly, we serve a more critical role: we are the region’s expert financial facilitator. We unlock the connections and provide the expert guidance your business needs to secure funding from a wide range of state and local programs, powering progress for both your company and our community.

Guidance Through Complex Programs
The business financing landscape can be overwhelming. Our team has the deep expertise required to navigate it successfully.
