Expanding or relocating a business in New York doesn’t have to be complicated. The Clinton County Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) serves as a hands-on partner for companies ready to invest, build, or grow in the Northeast. Our team works directly with businesses, developers, and site consultants to identify sites, structure creative financial incentives, and accelerate approvals—so projects move from concept to construction without delay. Consider Alstom’s growth in Plattsburgh - the company was awarded a $1.1 billion contract from N.J. Transit, and they are growing here in Clinton County.

Located just 60 miles south of Montreal, Clinton County sits along the I-87 corridor—one of the most active U.S.–Canadian trade routes. Clinton County’s CBIG industrial park offers speedy development opportunities, while CCIDA can coordinate incentives that make growing here financially rewarding. Email us to review incentives and discover what grants or tax breaks are available to support your business growth.

Proven Impact: Projects Become Reality in Clinton County, NY

Global manufacturers and logistics firms choose Clinton County because this location offers fast access to major northeast markets, while being 90 minutes from Canada. Companies like BETA Technologies, Vortex Aquatic Structures, Schluter Systems, and Micro Bird have all invested here, and have positive momentum thanks to our shovel-ready sites, reliable workforce, strong utility grid, and lower cost of doing business.

“The C-BIG project involves 450 shovel-ready acres ready to go with broadband, water, sewer, power and road. All of the environmental tests have been done, too, so you can pretty much just walk in the door and build what you want.” 

— Mark Henry, President, New York State Association of County Board Chairs

“The North Country Chamber, TDC, and CCIDA have done a lot of work to entice businesses, get the grants, and do the legwork to bring them in.”
