Background:
The Board of County Commissioners may approve a business for either the Job Growth Incentive (JGI) program or the Qualified Target Industry (QTI) program. Upon approval, a project is established with corresponding budgeted funds as specified in the executed program agreement. However, these project funds are not always expended as budgeted within a fiscal year, and therefore, require that the remaining balance be a carryforward to the next fiscal year.
The attached BAR through the Economic Development Fund will carryforward the unexpended JGI/QTI project balances for open projects from the FY 2023/24 Budget to the FY 2024/25 Budget and establish funding for the existing funding agreements.
Requested Action:
Staff requests the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Resolution implementing Budget Amendment Request (BAR) #25-027 in the amount of $659,761 to establish funds for existing funding agreements for Job Growth Incentives (JGI’s) and Qualified Target Industries (QTI’s).
