“Preserve Enterprise Zones,” Says Economic Development Corp President
Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 | Enterprise Zones, Tax News
Here’s what Bill Allen had to say today about the Governor’s proposal to eliminate the EZ program:
If anything, the Governor should strengthen his commitment to the Enterprise Zone Program in these difficult economic times as a key mechanism to revitalize economically-challenged areas by providing incentives that create high-wage jobs and investment in these communities. By responsibly doing so, he would not only strengthen local economies, but strengthen the state’s long-term economic foundation as well.
Too many of our state and local residents desperately need jobs. Until such time when this is no longer the case, there will always be a critical role for Enterprise Zones. This is one program our elected officials cannot afford to eliminate.
