A-30 <br /> <br />ELEMENT REF # EJ IMPLEMENTATION ACTION AGENCY TIME <br />FRAME 2023 UPDATE <br />Economic <br />Prosperity <br />3.5 Yes Green business incentives. Continue to <br />promote and market the Recycling <br />Market Development Zone. Develop an <br />incentive program to encourage <br />nonpolluting industry and clean green <br />technology companies that reduce <br />environmental impacts and the carbon <br />footprint to locate to the city. Encourage <br />existing businesses to invest in <br />technology and best practice to <br />transition to sustainable business <br />practices. <br />CDA Ongoing Economic Development Division staff <br />have continued to market the RMDZ to <br />existing "green" businesses in the City <br />by connecting them with staff from the <br />State to discuss low interest loans and <br />other recycling incentives available to <br />local businesses, and coordinate with <br />Planning and Building staff to <br />streamline developments. Most <br />recently, there has been an increase in <br />demand for electric vehicle charging <br />stations/hubs. CDA and PBA have <br />assisted private companies in securing <br />vacant properties or parking <br />structures/lots in order to <br />accommodate the demand for EV <br />stations. The private businesses that <br />are surfacing that promote Recycling <br />Market Development Zones provide <br />services to commuters, imported <br />laborers/professionals, and residents <br />while serving the local business <br />community.
