The California Association for Local Economic Development (CALED) established the California Enterprise Development Authority, a Joint Powers Authority (JPA), to address gaps in Economic Development financing. Specifically, CEDA's goal is to issue industrial development bonds (IDB's) for small to medium sized California manufacturers. IDB's are a powerful incentive for business expansion and location.

The California Enterprise Development Authority (CEDA) is committed to helping bring financing options and information to businesses and economic developers to help manufacturers, non profits, and California communities looking for financing resources.

As we celebrate our first four years, there is no doubt that CEDA's success is rooted in the commitment of the 29 pioneering communities that comprise CEDA and in the support of CALED's statewide economic development network. Check out our success stories to see the unique projects we've been part of.

The CEDA Board of Directors remains committed to strengthening CEDA as a catalyst for economic growth and to giving back to those communities that have participated in CEDA's programs.  This site will answer many of your questions, but we do encourage you to contact us if you need more information at any time.
