Mandate Title:
Enterprise Zone Statutory Changes
|
|||
Purpose of legislation
The 2019 General Assembly passed legislation and budget language affecting the Enterprise
Zone program. The changes alter zone renewal procedures and clarify procedures for inclusion
of solar panel installation as an allowed activity within the Enterprise Zone program (Chapter
496, 2019 Acts of Assembly and 2019 Appropriations Act, Item 107). The first change allows
all zones an additional five year renewal period for a maximum zone duration of 25 years. The
second change adds language clarifying that solar panel installation is a permitted activity under
the Real Property Investment Grant (RPIG) program; this includes stand-alone solar installation
or as part of new construction or a rehabilitation project. The change also lowers the threshold at
which solar projects are eligible to receive funding
