Why? What? 

Governments use public funds to help incentivize private economic development in order to strengthen the community’s economic viability. Incentives can take a variety of forms such as tax breaks, building supporting infrastructure, or workforce development. Jurisdictions use these incentives to pursue economic goals such as tax base diversification, job creation, housing stock creation, or business retention and expansion.

What Types Of Incentives Are There? 

There are generally two types of incentive programs available, earmarked and non-earmarked. 

Earmarked

Earmarked funds must be spent in a specific manner. Typical of these earmarked programs are grants used to improve sound proofing, diminish light pollution, train employees, extend rail spurs, or add goose neck lighting in historic districts.

Non-Earmarked

Non-earmarked funds are the good ones. ​They provide a cash payment to the owner just for being the owner. ​

No Strings Attached Money = GOOD

How could I not Know about these Programs? 

​These programs go unadvertised, are confusing even if you know about them, and the many governmental agencies overseeing them are not helpful and provide little guidance.
