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:

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.
