  1. Dr. Martin Romitti Whatare you up against? Governor’s Economic Development Conference Sioux Falls, SD April 17, 2013

  3. Trends Number of State Economic Development Incentive Programs 1999 2012 Source: C2ER State Incentives Database

  4. Trends • The rise in deal closing funds • In nearly half the states, governors have been given broad discretionary power in determining awardees for these types of funds. Some states have also opted to involve legislative leaders or gubernatorial appointed boards in award decisions. • More targeted, retooled and specialized programs • Last year almost half of all economic development programs emphasized specific target industries, prioritized by the agency or other economic development organizations. • Calls for more proof before the pudding • With slower economic growth and budget constraints, economic development organizations are looking to tie more performance requirements and repayment provisions to incentives.

  5. Trends • The Midwest has the highest concentration of state economic development incentive programs, followed by the Northeast, South and West. • Forty-five percent of state incentive programs had less than $1 million in total financial outlays for the program year, 35% expended between $1M and $10M, while 20% exceeded $10 M annually. • Nearly 40% of economic development incentive programs are notactively marketed, except for a basic web presence and/or printed collateral materials.
