Tax Breaks – August 1998 – Colorado Central Magazine
Another kind of county
The easiest answer to “what kind of county do you live in?” might be “an economically depressed one where the state offers special tax breaks to create jobs.”
This is true whether you’re in Saguache County, one of the poorest in the state, or in Custer County, fourth-fastest growing county in the nation.
Back in the depressed ’80s, the state set up “enterprise zones” with special tax breaks to encourage investment.
