After several months of <br />negotiation, the County, District and City have agreed to implement the <br />plan now presented to the Empowerment Zone. <br /> <br />Board discussion ensued. Members questioned why the increased costs <br />were not shared by the three entities involved, and asked why the <br />Empowerment Zone was asked to incur the total increased cost of the <br />project. Director Haynes raised concern that the project was not directly <br />related to economic development.
