Mayor Kitty Piercy looks on as Gov. Ted Kulongoski talks about the future of Oregon and House Bill 3143.
Governor: Tour stresses improving economy
Continued from page 1
Businesses located within
enterprise zones are eligible for
three to five years of property tax
exemptions of $50,000 on buildings
or major equipment investments
within the zone.
Kulongoski, flanked by Eugene
Mayor Kitty Piercy and City Coun
cilman Floyd Prozanski, signed the
legislation at Molecular Probes De
tection Technology, a life science
company in West Eugene, founded
in 1975.
In late August 2003, Molecular
Probes Detection Technology was
sold to Invitrogen, which advertises
itself as the “key partner in the global
life science community.” Instead of
moving Molecular Probes Detection
Technology out of state, Invitrogen
kept the company in West Eugene,
which is categorized as one of the 49
current enterprise zones.
According to Jack Roberts, execu
tive director for Lane Metro Partner
ship, Molecular Probes Detection
Technology is one of a number of ex
panding businesses that should re
main local. Enterprise zones help
make this a possibility, Roberts said.
The governor’s stop — one of
three, including stops in Bend and
Medford — was intended to signify
his commitment to increasing the
economic infrastructure of Oregon.
In Bend, Governor Kulongoski
signed Senate Bill 82, which pro
vides for a comprehensive review of
the Oregon land-use system. In
Medford Kulongoski was joined by
Transportation Commission Chair
man Stuart Foster and Aviation
Commission Chairman Mike Burrill
to discuss Senate Bill 71, also
known as ConnectOregon, a follow
up to the governor’s 2003 trans
portation package. The bill will ded
icate $100 million to non-highway
transportation projects including
aviation, rail, marine and transit
systems in order to improve conges
tion and increase delivery speed.
Overall, Kulongoski’s tri-city tour
emphasized economic improve
ment and local company growth
and retention.
“This was more about Oregon
competing with other states than
parts of Oregon competing with other
parts of Oregon,” said Roberts.
Enterprise zones encompass eco
nomically distressed areas. An en
terprise zone may envelop a portion
of a city or an entire city itself, as is
the case with Springfield, according
to Roberts.
“These zones create an incentive
for new investment and job cre
ation,” said Roberts.
By creating a foundation for
businesses to grow and an incentive
for growing businesses to stay in
state, tax revenues should increase,
said Roberts.
Under current law, counties and
cities apply to the Department of Eco
nomic and Community Development
for enterprise zone designations. En
terprise zone designations come with
a limit of 10 years.
