Issue Position : Community Economic Development
Issue Position
Issues: Economy and Fiscal
The economy is no longer in recession, and economic opportunities are there for the taking. I will push for State support of community economic development projects in local communities that put the power of redevelopment in the hands of the residents. This State support will come in the following forms: 1) tax credits that are rewarded to community based organizations developing affordable residential and commercial property, and 2) a revolving loan fund that targets businesses in the states most vulnerable urban and rural communities.
