新的建议旨在通过重新定位当前的皇冠电子下载app激励计划，扩大所有印第安纳波利斯公民的机会
INDIANAPOLIS – Mayor Joe Hogsett, leadership of the Indy Chamber, 以及社区利益相关者今天聚集在常青藤理工社区学院，公布了一个新的皇冠电子下载app路线图，该路线图优先考虑所有印第安纳波利斯居民的包容性增长. 这一战略将重新定位现有的皇冠电子下载app激励计划，以提高印第安纳波利斯居民的就业机会，并消除就业障碍，如儿童保育, transit, 以及技能培训——这阻碍了个人获得和保留高薪工作.
“印第安纳波利斯在过去十年中见证了显著的增长，这不是什么秘密,” said Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. “But the unfortunate reality is that while many have found success, there has been an 80% increase in poverty in this same timeframe. This is not an acceptable reality, 我们今天公布的战略和政策建议旨在从公平的角度审视我们的皇冠电子下载app努力.”
This inclusive economic development strategy prioritizes four key areas:
- 业务增长:通过鼓励创业和支持商业吸引力来增加就业的数量和质量, retention, and expansion activities.
- Skills development: Prepare Indy residents for jobs that pay living wages, which includes improved access and quality of K-12 education, adult education, job readiness programs, and post-secondary training programs.
- Physical investment: Increase the likelihood of private market investment, including new housing, commercial development, and brownfield redevelopment. Additionally, improve quality of life in distressed areas.
- Social capital and support systems: Reduce barriers impeding quality of life, and identify and support community needs including health, transportation, civic engagement, housing, criminal justice reform, and access to childcare.
使用这些优先领域，并通过与众多业务涉众的讨论, real estate, and non-profit communities, local leaders enlisted HR&A Advisors to help create policy recommendations to improve inclusive outcomes. These include addressing racial disparities in access to opportunity, 利用税收减免和培训补助金等激励措施来实现更广泛的社区效益, improving access and quality of education, supporting workforce training programs, assisting distressed neighborhoods, and improving access to support services.
“These challenges were not created overnight, and there’s no silver bullet solution to address the current barriers,” notes Angela Smith Jones, deputy mayor of economic development for the City of Indianapolis. “但这一策略让我们能够退后一步，评估经济隔离的几个主要方面, 确定已经解决个人障碍的组织和计划, and make recommendations for future policies and programming.”
该战略列举了许多为更广泛的包容性生态系统做出贡献的组织和项目, 提供合作和合作的机会，共同努力鼓励所有印第安纳波利斯居民的经济流动性.
“Over the last several years, 印第安纳商会与布鲁金斯学会合作，更好地了解印第安纳波利斯地区居民经济流动的障碍，并与数百名社区利益相关者进行讨论,” said Michael Huber, president and CEO of the Indy Chamber. “今天发布的战略利用了一种用于皇冠电子下载app努力的工具，以推动我们希望实现的若干包容性成果.”
新的包容性激励路线图提出了一些政策建议，以修改当前的金融城税收减免和培训补助计划的流程. 这些措施包括为寻求减税的雇主实施最低平均工资, assuring the presence of health benefits for available jobs, assessing community impact of the employer, creating dedicated workforce support funds, 通过降低平均工资要求来扩大培训补助金的申请人, and more. 该路线图还呼吁制定一项全面的土地战略，对印第安纳波利斯的所有公共财产进行分类，并根据最高的机会为其重新定位确立愿景.
今天的声明是印第安纳波利斯就包容性经济增长进行的更广泛讨论的最新进展. Since taking office, 霍格特市长召集了利益相关方，推行以社区为基础的皇冠电子下载app战略, 履行他2015年的承诺，发展城市经济，不让未被重视的社区落后. Over the last several years, community partners such as the Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF), the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), 印地商会与城市领导人合作建立社区基准, identify gaps in resources, and assess existing tools. 这一声明是霍格特市长皇冠电子下载app战略的下一步，该战略旨在为印第安纳波利斯的所有社区带来高质量的工作和明智的投资, reaching residents in every zip code.
