Assemblymember V. Manuel Pérez Discusses the Future of the EZ Program
Monday, April 26th, 2010 | Enterprise ZonesAssemblymember V. Manuel Pérez, representative from Imperial County, weighed in on KXO Radio discussing the future of the Enterprise Zone program:
“We cannot overlook the state’s Enterprise Zone program. I spent a lot of time last year facilitating a hearing process to examine many aspects of this program, and I appreciate the efforts of stakeholders to participate in the dialogue. Last month, I introduced AB 2476 to serve as a vehicle for statutory reforms to the program. As the bill currently reads, it makes changes to the eligibility criteria for Targeted Employment Areas. I see this measure as a starting point and look forward to ongoing and productive discussions as we refine the bill language and make an important program even better.”
