Chair adopts committee rules; DCA begins briefing on economic development tools
Summary
The committee adopted its rules for the next two years and heard a Department of Community Affairs overview of rural zones, state and federal opportunity zones, the State Small Business Credit Initiative and enterprise zones. Members pressed for implementation details and local outreach plans.
The committee chair opened the session, confirmed a quorum and moved to adopt the committee’s rules for the next two years; a member seconded the motion and the rules passed by voice vote. The chair then introduced Rusty Haywood of the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to brief members on several economic development programs that affect small and rural communities.
Haywood told the panel he would cover multiple programs and invited questions. "He sent me, mister chairman," Haywood said, noting the commissioner had other commitments but had sent Haywood to present. Members indicated they wanted program-by-program detail; the chair said the committee planned further DCA briefings on additional programs in coming weeks.
