30+ Shared Services Contracts with Local Governments and Other Entities
Looking to be a part of future economic development opportunities?
Since 2014, the Cumberland County Improvement Authority has served as the county’s lead entity for economic development and redevelopment, investing over $588 million in construction and public improvement projects. Through more than 30 shared services agreements, the Authority has helped local governments enhance firehouses, fleet services, and waste collection—resulting in $4.7 million in taxpayer savings. In 2019, the Authority merged with the Cumberland Empowerment Zone Corporation to expand access to technical services and public financing for businesses and public agencies.
The Authority has continued to lead strategic initiatives that strengthen the local economy. During the Covid-19 crisis, it acted as a central resource hub for businesses. With an overall economic impact exceeding $1 billion, its investments have created new jobs, expanded workforce training, and driven long-term growth across Cumberland County.
