Description

Governor's Development Opportunity Fund. Adjusts eligibility for grants or loans from the Governor's Development Opportunity Fund for projects that are in a city or county located in a Metropolitan or Micripolitan Service Area whose annual average unemployment rate for the most recent calendar year is one and a half times or more the state average. In such cases, the minimum amount of private investment is lowered from $10,000,000 to $7,500,000 and the number of new jobs that must be created from 100 to 75. For localities with a population between 50,000 and 100,000 the minimums are lowered from $5,000,000 in private investment to $3,500,000 and from 50 new jobs to 35. For localities with less than 50,000 in population, minimums are lowered from $2,500,000 in private investment to $1,500,000 and from 25 new jobs to 15. Read the Bill »
