Report Date Aug. 19, 1998
Report No. T-RCED-98-263
Subject
Summary:

H.R. 3865, the American Community Renewal Act of 1998, would allow 100 areas to be designated as "renewal" communities, enabling them to receive incentives to increase jobs, form and expand small businesses, and increase educational opportunities and homeownership. To be eligible for such a designation, an area must meet economic distress criteria that measure unemployment and poverty rates. Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities, authorized by the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993 and the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, also seek to revitalize economically distressed areas. This testimony identifies the number of census tracts that meet the economic distress criteria of H.R. 3865. GAO also discusses its December 1996 report (xxx/RCED-97-21) on six urban Empowerment Zones that described the program's early implementation, including factors that participants believed may have either helped or hindered efforts to carry out the program. These lessons may be helpful in considering H.R. 3865.
