A RESOLUTION STATING THE CITY OF WEST MONROE’S ENDORSEMENT OF AUTO BODY SPECIALIST, INC., AND THEIR PROJECT, EXPANSION OF AUTO BODY SPECIALIST, PROJECT # 20080729, TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BENEFITS OF THE LOUISIANA ENTERPRISE ZONE PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, the Louisiana Enterprise Zone Act of 1981 was established by Act 901 of the 1981 Louisiana State Legislature, and was thereafter amended by Act 337 of the 1982 Legislature and Act 433 of the 1987 legislature, and
WHEREAS, the Louisiana Enterprise Zone Program offers significant incentives for economic development in the City of West Monroe, and
WHEREAS, the Louisiana Department of Economic Development designated CT 58 BG 1 the City of West Monroe as “Enterprise Zone” eligible, based on demographic and economic factors, and
WHEREAS, the attached map is marked showing the location of the business being endorsed, and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Louisiana Enterprise Zone Program requirements, the City of West Monroe agrees:
1. If approached by an industry who would assume all costs involved, to apply with the U.S. Department of Commerce to have the Enterprise Zone area declared to be a free trade zone.
2. To devise and implement a program to improve police protection within the zone or zones.
3. To give priority to the use in the zone or zones of any UDAG or CETA or CDBG funds received from the federal government.
4. To provide assistance to the Louisiana Department of Economic Development in certifying employers to be eligible for the benefits of this program. This would include verification of the location of the business, number of employees, and other verification that would have to be made at the local level.
5. To refund local sales taxes on the purchase of the material used in the construction of a building, or any addition or improvement thereon, for housing any legitimate business enterprise, and machinery and equipment used in that enterprise. This tax refund would be on materials, construction and equipment purchased for the startup of this project and used by that business permanently on that site.
6. To cooperate with the Department in reviewing certain local regulations which may serve to discourage economic development within the enterprise zone.
7. To assist the Department in evaluating progress made in any enterprise zone within its jurisdiction. This would entail a comparative analysis of conditions in the zone prior to designation (number of workers employed there and businesses) and conditions some time after designation (six months or a year, or later).
8. To keep the Department informed whenever changes occur within the zone, i.e., an establishment goes out of business, is destroyed by fire, flood, or is otherwise closed, new development takes place with the infrastructure (streets and similar improvements), changes in local development codes that may affect the zone.
NOW, THEREFORE
