CED-82-78 1 (1982-07-15)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabdnl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Revitalizing Distressed Areas Through Enterprise Zones: Many Uncertainties Exist The administration has proposed the enter- prise zone concept as a new approach to revitalize distressed areas by providing tax relief and regulatory reform. Objectives would be to stimulate business develop- ment and create jobs. Many unknowns exist about the effective- ness of the proposed incentives and their costs. For example, will the zones attract substantial private investments, create jobs, and/or result in adverse effects? And be- cause Federal costs for the program will depend upon response to the incentives offered rather than congressionally con- trolled appropriations, will the actual pro- gram costs be more or less than estimated? If the Congress enacts an enterprise zone program, GAO agrees with the administra- tion that it should be undertaken on an experimental basis. Further, GAO recom- mends that enterprise zone legislation re- quire the administering Federal agency to establish program effectiveness criteria sup- ported by systematic data collection and evaluation to analyze the benefits and costs of the program. \tj$ Stwj N 1' 'GAO/CED-82-78 JULY 15,1982
