WHEN HISTORY REINVESTS FOR TOMORROW @downtownWAYCROSSga
Rural Zones | Southern Georgia
The Rural Zone program targets rural downtown areas that have been adversely impacted
by local economic conditions by creating Rural Zones and offering economic development
incentives.
It differs from other programs at DCA which provide technical assistance and
access to capital because it would establish an incentive program to stimulate investment,
job creation, and economic development. It also adds in retail opportunities, which are
currently excluded from job tax credits. Further, multiple sources can benefit – for instance,
a single new coffee shop might provide job tax credits for the local business owner and an
investment and rehabilitation credit to an urban investor.
