City of Deltona Incentive Program - Jerry Mayes, Economic Development Manager, 386-878-8619 Strategic Goal: Economic Development Background: Incentives are part of the economic development landscape that governments use to remain competitive in the business recruitment and expansion arena. Site selectors and developers traditionally use a ‘check-off strategy’ when reviewing locations. The main goal is not City of Deltona Page 1 Printed on 2/27/2017 City Commission Workshop Agenda February 27, 2017 to approve a location but to eliminate all locations that don’t meet the stringent criteria of the developing business. Using a list of predetermined items, site selectors look for a way to speed this elimination process. Miss a check-off item and your site is eliminated, leaving a limited number of sites to be presented for formal review. That’s why it’s imperative that any economic development organization have an incentive recruiting and expansion program to remain competitive. The City of Deltona has none. The program to be discussed involves incentives for (1) recruitment of businesses to the City, (2) recruitment of developers to the City so that new businesses can be then recruited to those to be built locations, and (3) for expanding and retaining local businesses. Thus, for the City of Deltona, this becomes (1) job creation, (2) the development of a commercial tax base, and (3) the creation of a local, in-city workforce to be used in further recruitment.
