HOUSE BILL Continued from page 9 the county, but that encourage industry and growth. Each county that becomes an enterprise cone must put together an enterprise xone plan, explaining how they plan to encourage growth and the steps they are taking to implement it Meyer said that not only cities or counties could offer inducements, but that local citixens or utility coops could also get involved in tire efforts. One example of a way to make it easier for a manufacturer would be to establish a permitting location, he explained. Ibis would be a central location where a firm could get all the permits it was required to have, without havingto go to several different locations. Making things like permitting or licencing easier for a firm, does make a difference when businesses are scouting for a site or location to establish themselves in. Meyer also said that counties and cities should make an official list of their resources, inventory what they've got and keep it on hand to use whim trying to attract industry. The enterprise mne offers to industry two kinds of tax incentives, to go along with the incentives that the area itselfmust come up with to encourage industry. Specific credits would be things 0 credit per each like new job created by the industry. Investment tax credits of 10 of the first $10,000 invested in fixed assets, (such as equipment or machinery) with 6 of the next $80,000 and 2 thereafter, would also be available. When the legislature passed the bill, even urban legislators understood the importance of passing the bill for the welfare of the entire state.
