Since 1964, TCAD has continually worked for the benefit of the community. Through the changes in Tompkins County’s economy—its ups and downs and the transformation of key industries—TCAD’s mission has remained clear: create good jobs for local residents.

We want to take this opportunity to introduce you to these individuals who live and work in our community. They all are employed by businesses or organizations TCAD has assisted. These are four real people and four real jobs. With an average non-managerial
wage of $19.00 an hour for the jobs created by our projects, TCAD takes its commitment to the creation of jobs that elevate the quality of life and sustainability of our community seriously.
