Folsom Development Plan

Decent Essays
I agree with you fully. Obviously this is very quick overview but I'm all about keeping Folsom healthy, which means smart growth, high wages and safe. I want Folsom's development plans to benefit Folsom residents first, developers second. I'm a fiscally conservative candidate who supports small business but understands the city needs the big box companies. I want to focus on economic development in Folsom by attracting larger, campus style businesses (various verticals) to produce high paying jobs in Folsom.

    State and local tax incentives and tax breaks have become a widely used and acceptable economic development tool to attract new businesses to an area. There is much debate whether this is an effective method to stimulate economic growth, or just another loophole corporation’s use to increase their bottom line and avoid paying taxes on their earned revenue. Proponents of tax breaks and incentives argue that it is an effective use of tax payer money to create new jobs and promote growth to an area.

    The state California is seen as a glamorous and liberal in the eyes of many Americans and many see that state as very progressive in comparison to the other states.
