Enterprise Zone
Program
Fresno Chamber Position:
SUPPORT
The Enterprise Zone
program has proven to be a valuable tool for businesses to
receive tax credits and other incentives. Funding for this
program is being threatened and we need the state Legislature to
continue this program, which has helped to create new jobs, grow
existing businesses and allowed California to compete with other
states in attracting outside investors. Submit your letter now
to urge state Legislators to continue funding the Enterprise
Zone program.
The Enterprise Zone program was designed to help revitalize
struggling communities, bolster local economies and help the
vulnerable and disadvantaged members of our communities get a
hand up, not a hand out. The Program provides much needed tax
incentives for businesses to hire more local workers and to help
prevent layoffs.
