<br /> <br /> <br />Bob Johnson, <br />Coral Wind Subdivision, thought this initiative may be premature <br />because they have not found out the impact on the Enterprise Zone that was to provide <br />small businesses to the area, and there may not be enough statistics. He also wanted to <br />know how his taxes would be affected. <br /> <br />Helen Castletine <br /> addressed a couple concerns stating that these incentives are <br />Countywide with special emphasis for projects locating in the Enterprise Zone. It has only <br />been in place for a year and they have 19 application requests for sales tax refunds, so it is <br />extremely active in its first year of existence, and of those ten applications came from Piper <br />Aircraft. <br /> <br />Joseph Paladin <br /> supported the Motion. <br /> <br />Commissioner Davis asked to have Governor Elect Charlie Crist give Piper <br />Aircraft Corporation a call saying that he certainly would like Piper to stay in Florida; he <br />would do what he can and have the Commissioners pick it up from there. <br /> <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br />Motion carried unanimously. The Board approved <br />direction to staff to revise the local jobs grant <br />program; revise the program for waiving County <br />utility deposits; approved tabling the impact fee <br />financing program; asked Commissioner O’Bryan <br />to provide a report on how these revisions are <br />working, if they need to be adjusted up or down, and <br />how Indian River County Enterprise Zone <br />compares to other Enterprise Zones.
