DIGEST : This bill increases communication between the

located in enterprise zones or in LAMBRAs claiming
preferences for state contracts, and (3) requires the
Department of Personnel Administration to change their
contracts training program to address the requirements for
preference for small businesses, disabled veteran-owned
business and enterprise zone preferences.
ANALYSIS : The California Enterprise Zone Program and the
other geographically-targeted economic development areas
(G-TEDAs) represent the state's primary economic
development programs in California. Eligibility for G-TEDA
designation is limited to areas within communities that can
demonstrate blighted conditions such as high poverty or
high unemployment rates.
HCD administers four G-TEDA programs including: Enterprise
Zones, Manufacturing Enhancement Areas (MEAs), LAMBRAs and
the Targeted Tax Area (TTA). G-TEDA programs are based on
the principle that targeting significant economic
incentives to low-income communities allows these
communities to more effectively compete for new businesses
and retain existing businesses, resulting in increased tax
revenues, less reliance on social services, and lower
public safety costs. Residents and businesses directly
benefit from these more sustainable economic conditions
through improved neighborhoods, business expansion, and job
creation.
The 42 enterprise zones, eight LAMBRAs, two MEAs and one
TTA are located in portions of 54 Assembly Districts and 34
Senate Districts. Each zone designation is for a period of
15 years, although the initial zones were given an
additional five years due to the slow start-up of the
program. No other extensions have been authorized.
G-TEDAs range in size from one square mile to over 70
square miles and in geographic locations ranging from
Eureka and Shasta Valley near the Oregon border to San
Diego and Calexico along the can border. With the approval
of the 2006 reforms, each designated area is governed by a
comprehensive economic strategy that details local
government commitments, benchmarks, and baselines.
