Pick Rick Hube for State Representative

Purpose: We can use our existing infrastructure – such as aging empty industrial facilities – as a resource we can leverage to attract new employers or help existing employers expand.  Creating Opportunity Zones will help revitalize communities that have been hit hard by the migration of manufacturing jobs out of New England.  

Plan: Industrial facilities that have been vacant for five years or more would be afforded certain benefits to create incentives for renovation and renewal of use.  No income tax on revenue from rental of space in the building would accrue to the owner for 10 years.  There would be a five year tax increment allocation to the community for infrastructure costs associated with support for the renovation of the building.
