Wi.th the exception of a financing proposal, No. 5 involved too <br />much direct intervention. Within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) <br />and Freestanding Growth Centers, the Council is not interested in directing <br />where economic growth should go, but rather simply stimulating overall growth. <br /> <br />In the area of financing, the Council feels there is a regional role: in <br />making economic development financing programs available to all communities <br />within the MUSA and Freestanding Growth Centers, in providing economies-of- <br />scale when issuing industrial revenue bonds, and in building .closer ties with <br />the regional business community than might be possible through state programs. <br />The two proposed financing programs are the only ones where the Council is <br />recommending direct stimulation of the economy. In addition, while the Council <br />intends to adopt guidelines for these programs, they will not be implemented <br />immediately. The programs will be implemented only when enough interest has <br />been generated to make them work effectively. <br /> <br /> <br />
