State Enterprise Zones in Nonmentro Areas: Are They Working?

Abstract

State enterprise zone programs appear to be successful economic development tools in nonmetro areas. The programs have created jobs for disadvantaged residents, but most of the jobs are in low-paying, traditional manufacturing industries. Furthermore, many rural areas are excluded from zone participation, either directly, through population and area limitations, or indirectly, through competitive application processes. The effectiveness of zone programs might be improved by changes that would increase rural participation and provide a better mix of jobs.
