Since 2014, the Cumberland County Improvement Authority has served as the county’s lead entity for economic development and redevelopment, investing over $650 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 $5.3 million in taxpayer savings in 2025. 

​

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.

In all aspects, projects will be compliant with regulations, budgets, and timelines. The Authority’s role and involvement varies from project to project, with the over-riding goal to maximize project funding and achieve the optimal use of expertise and available resources.
