  • 2010 in Review from Commerce
    Dec. 28, 2010 Invite a Friend [email protected] 2010 in review from Commerce Happy Holidays from all of us at the North Carolina Department of Commerce! As 2010 draws to a close, this week’s SYNC takes a look back at the year's top economic development accomplishments from across North Carolina. Like 2009, 2010 presented difficult challenges to the state’s economic development community, but there were also many success stories and examples of outstanding collaboration in all corners of the state. Established businesses such as Caterpillar, Siemens and IBM continued their commitment to North Carolina by expanding in the state. New partners such as Facebook helped cement North Carolina's reputation as a leader in the data center industry. This year also saw the launch of ThriveNC.com, a new website dedicated to meet the needs of business decision-makers and site selection consultants, as well as an expanded marketing program for in-state partners. Topping it off, Site Selection magazine once again named the state as the nation's best business climate. With continued leadership from Governor Bev Perdue and N.C. Department of Commerce Secretary Keith Crisco, along with the collaborative efforts of every member of the state's economic development community, the outlook for 2011 looks bright. In the coming year, SYNC will continue to bring you the news and information that builds collaborative relationships and helps us all stay in SYNC. Perdue announces small business initiatives Governor Bev Perdue on Jan. 13 announced her major policy priorities for the coming year – jobs and the economy, education, setting government straight, and keeping communities safe.

  • Call to Action to Restore Housing Bonds in House Tax Reform Bill
    Call to Action to Restore Housing Bonds in House Tax Reform Bill Dear partners in affordable housing, The just-released House Republican tax reform bill, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, H.R. 1, proposes to eliminate tax-exempt private activity bonds (PABs), including both multifamily and single-family Housing Bonds issued after 2017. The bill contradicts all previous reports, from sources both in Congress and within the Administration that suggested the bill would maintain tax-exempt PABs. Utah Housing Corporation and all other state HFAs have utilized tax-exempt PABs to fund mortgage loan programs for lower income first time home buyers. Utah Housing has funded some 70,000 single family mortgages and 10,000 multifamily rental housing mortgages for low income tenants using PABs as the source of capital to purchase or make these loans. During the past few years while interest rates have been at all-time lows, these types of bonds have not provided the large spread in mortgage rate funded with PABs they once offered when interest rates were high. However when interest rates ultimately do rise to “normal” levels, we will all look back and be grateful Congress took the long view and not just the short term outlook to make the tax bill “revenue neutral.” As partners working to strengthen affordable housing in Utah we encourage you to immediately contact the Utah Congressional delegation and ask them to communicate to Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Ranking Member Richard Neal (D-MA) the need to restore tax-exempt private activity Housing Bonds in the tax reform bill, H.R.

    NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: January 15, 2010 Barb Bradley President and CEO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Office: (919) 834-6623 ext. 224 Fax: (919) 829-7299 Email: [email protected] Action on health reform Imminent: N.C. House Democrats who voted against bill represent districts that would benefit the most from reform Raleigh -- Major agreements on health reform are being made today as House and Senate leadership aim to get a health insurance reform bill on the President's desk as soon as possible. The three North Carolina House Democrats who are likely to stand against the bill on the final vote represent districts that would benefit most from health reform. Congressmen Mike McIntyre, Larry Kissell and Heath Shuler -- the three North Carolina Democrats who voted against the House-passed health reform bill back in November -- represent districts with uninsured rates among the top five in the state. A report by the Urban Institute demonstrates that in both uninsured children and uninsured all non- elderly, those three Congressmen's districts are among the worst five in the state, and all are worse than the national averages. Here are the numbers: These are compared to national averages of 9.9% children uninsured and 17% all non-elderly uninsured. "We hope all our leaders in Washington realize how badly North Carolinians need health insurance reform," said Barb Bradley, President and CEO of Action for Children North Carolina, a nonpartisan, statewide child advocacy group. "Health care premiums are rising much faster than earnings in this state, and North Carolina is losing employer-based health care faster than almost every other state in the nation.
