Bill > S232

This bill aims to provide direct investment for job creation and business expansion in rural communities. It proposes to amend Chapter 6A of the General Laws by adding a new subsection (o.) to Section 16G. This new subsection would require the Secretary of Housing and Economic Development, in consultation with the Rural Policy Advisory Commission, to establish a rural development initiative. The initiative would be administered by the executive office through a contract with the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency. The initiative's goals include providing technical assistance to identify and implement strategies that will spur direct investment in rural communities, create jobs, expand businesses, identify cross-sector partnerships, engage community members in planning, and implement local economic development initiatives.
