As reported by the Mohave Daily News, the city of Needles, CA, is planning today to submit an official application to the state in order to become a qualified Enterprise Zone.  With the current economic environment in California, if Needles is accepted, the city could begin attracting companies that are moving away from the large municipalities in order to cut costs and augment revenues.

Marj Dario also noted in the article, “City Manager Bill Way suggested that application sections be assigned to several subcommittees.  Those subcommittee topics are: program and marketing goals; five-year commercial/industrial retention, expansion and attraction plans; data collection; financial; job development; and local incentives. NEDC members have been assigned to the subcommittees.”

This news once again establishes the value of the California Enterprise Zones and their expanding visibility to the public.  If you have a company that is in an enterprise zone, contact us in order to see what credits you qualify for.
