HIGHLIGHTS, Jan. 3, County Commissioner Meeting

1. The Colorado Economic Development Commission (EDC) evaluated Delta County during its annual analysis and ranked the county as an enterprise zone. This ranking qualifies existing local business (and new potential business) to apply for large tax credits for new equipment, employee hires and health insurance, training, vacant building rehabilitation, and other business-related expenses.
