Bill Summary
For legislation to allow municipalities to enter into agreements for consideration as gateway municipalities. Economic Development and Emerging Technologies.
AI Summary
This bill allows municipalities to enter into agreements to be considered as "gateway municipalities." Gateway municipalities are defined as municipalities with a population between 35,000 and 250,000, a median household income below the state average, and a bachelor's degree attainment rate below the state average. The bill expands the definition to include two or more municipalities that form an inter-municipal agreement for this purpose, as long as their combined population falls within the specified range. This change provides more flexibility for municipalities to qualify for certain economic development programs and resources available to gateway municipalities.
