Distressed Communities east of the Mississippi, some are surprises, with New York the key!

1.The following is the list of all of the Enterprise Communities near or east of the Mississippi

[There is some overlap with the earlier list] which Time Magazine says in their July 10, 2000 Special Edition "Life on the Mississippi," IS "An eye-opening journey along America's river of dreams."

We suggest that it is for several reasons, that being:

  1. The number of Enterprise Communities or Empowerment Zones along the Mississippi Delta Region which covers Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and you could throw in a couple of others including Louisiana, and


  2. The fact that several important players, including President Clinton and Vice President Gore are involved in this Program.

In New York State, Michigan and Pennsylvania there are many Enterprise Communities that could use some help if the players got interested.

We hope to see the House Ways and Means Community finally complete the Distressed Communities Legislation the week of July 17, 2000, but we have been wrong before.

What is totally amazing is the lack of interest by the businesses within these Enterprise Communities, but since the City of San Diego's Economic Development Department's Web site fails to mention the federal Enterprise Community Program nothing surprises us anymore.
