There is no doubt that everyone would like to see the court square buildings filled to capacity with thriving businesses. Brownsville should be a destination ... for shopping, eating and strolling. And not just downtown, but all over the county.
PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) programs and other incentives have long been offered to industry, but as far as I know there are no small business incentives in place in our community.
I would like to see a plan that offers small business people and entrepreneurs some of the same opportunities the big businesses get. After all, small business supposedly makes up 90% of the work force in America.
I'd be interested to know what incentives you think are valuable to offer someone wanting to start, expand or relocate a small business to Brownsville or Haywood County.
