Book excerpt: In 1993, Congress set in motion a major economic development initiative designed to revitalize deteriorating urban and rural communities. The Empowerment Zone/ Enterprise Communities (EZ/EC) program targeted federal grants for social services and community redevelopment, and provided tax and regulatory relief intended to attract and retain businesses in designated areas. It embraced a two-tier designation process. Originally, six urban and three rural areas were designated Empowerment Zones (EZs). They enjoyed the bulk of the tax and grant incentives. An additional 60 urban and 30 rural areas were designated Enterprise Communities (ECs); they received a smaller package of federal incentives. In 1997, Congress created a Round II of the EZ/EC program, authorizing the designation of 20 additional EZs (15 urban, 5 rural). Round II EZs were given a different mix of tax incentives. And, unlike for the Round I EZs, the enabling legislation for Round II zones did not include Social Service Block Grant (SSBG) funding. Instead of mandatory SSBG funding, Congress has appropriated some discretionary funding for Round II EZs from FY1999 through FY2002. At the end of the post-election session, the 106th Congress passed P.L. 106-554 which included authorization for the Secretaries of HUD and Agriculture to designate nine additional EZs (seven urban and two rural). Round III EZs were announced (see [http://www.hud.gov/news/release.cfm?content=pr02-008.cfm].) on January 15, 2002. The Consolidated Appropriations Act also included provisions that significantly affect Round I and Round II EZs. This report provides an overview of the EZ/EC program--including funding issues--as well as a summary of EZ-related provisions of P.L. 106-554. It will be updated as events warrant.

This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EZ/EC program is one of the most recent large-scale federal effort intended to revitalize impoverished urban and rural communities. There have been three rounds of EZs and two rounds of ECs, all of which are scheduled to end no later than December 2009. The Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 mandated that GAO audit and report in 2004, 2007, and 2010 on the EZ/EC program and its effect on poverty, unemployment, and economic growth. This report, which focuses on the first round of the program starting in 1994, discusses program implementation; program oversight; data available on the use of program tax benefits; and the program's effect on poverty, unemployment, and economic growth. In conducting this work, GAO made site visits to all Round I EZs, conducted an e-mail survey of 60 Round I ECs, and used several statistical methods to analyze program effects.
