NIZ in a Nutshell

While I was covering the ANIZDA meeting in Allentown yesterday, Northampton County Economic Development Administrator Alicia Karner was explaining the NIZ to Council's Economic Development Committee. It's a neutral presentation of th NIZ in a nutshell, and she was kind enough to forward it to me, so I can share it with everyone.

Note Slide 10:

The Arena piece will create 750 new jobs. At a cost to the taxpayer of $500 million (including debt service).

$667,000 of taxpayer money for each new job created.

What a deal!
