Presentation

0:20 → 33:44(33m 24s)

Laura Conroy of the regional council of governments presented an overview of the Oregon enterprise zone program: its origin in 1985, purpose as a three-year tax exemption to promote traded-sector investment, eligibility rules (minimum $50,000 new investment, added headcount), and options for zone boundaries and administration. Conroy explained application fees (statutory minimum $200 or 0.1% of project, cap $50,000), partner management options, and recent state-law changes that make small cities eligible to apply independently.
