Friday, December 11th, 2009 | Featured ZoneMany different financial programs make big promises but fail to deliver, however the Enterprise Zone offers local businesses with true incentives to help offset expenses. The Salinas Valley enterprise zone is proving this concept with its latest announcement that Salinas Valley businesses have received approximately $1 million dollars in tax credits.
The TV station, KION, reported the announcement and gave the following report on the program, “The main purpose of an enterprise zone is job creation; businesses can get more than $37,000 in tax credits for every person hired. Also, lenders may be able to receive a deduction on their net interest and companies can also increase their ability to gain state contracts.”
