Since 1999 the SIED program (Supporting Investment in Economic Development) has funded over $46.8 million in local infrastructure. The companies and industries supported by SIED invested over $350 million in private capital investment and created over 2,000 jobs. In 2018 SIED funded infrastructure improvements totaling $1,503,372, supporting $31M in private capital investment and creating a projected 77 jobs and $6.5 million in annual payroll. SIED funding is the result of 1997 state legislation to help remedy distress in rural areas. The program is administered by YCDA

Since its inception Yakima County Development Association has generated $64 of local economic activity for every dollar invested in the association.

Our results stem from team efforts and YCDA cannot take full credit for these business development success stories. Our hats are off to the companies who have invested in the Yakima Valley and added to local payrolls. We also appreciate the support of our investors and partners. We win when we work together.
