IN BRIEF: A meeting among the city's economic development subcommittee concluded with them agreeing to move forward with trying to establish an enterprise zone area in the city. The enterprise zone, a program used to combine local tax incentives with state and federal tax incentives to attract businesses, would be located at the Salem Gate shopping center and surround properties. That particular area was chosen for the possibility of generating sales tax revenue for the city and for the opportunity to expand the enterprise zone to other parcels of land in the area.
