How Well Do Tax Breaks Foster Economic Development?
IDA? ESD? IDK! Do Tax Breaks Really Foster Economic Development? Are tax breaks an effective approach for achieving economic development? Recent reports have questioned incentive programs offered by Industrial Development Agencies, adding to the growing number of groups questioning the effectiveness of economic development incentive programs. Without them, can New York State compete to attract business expansion? Jeffrey Pearlman, Director of the NYS Authorities Budget Office, and Ken Pokalsky, Vice President of the NYS Business Council will share their perspectives on this topic and lead this Candid Conversation.
As public administration professionals and citizens of a town, village or city in New York, this Candid Conversation offers and opportunity for learning and for your opinion about this timely topic. Hope to see you on April 19th in the Alfred E. Smith State Office Building, Rm. 148.
