Currently companies must make a capital investment of at least $2 million to qualify for incentives, however this proposed program would provide financial assistance to companies making a capital investment of less than $2 million. The proposed change would allow the RVP to assist expanding local companies in targeted industries that may be too small to qualify for assistance under current requirements but are strong businesses making vital contributions to the local economy. The proposed language is: "To qualify for this program, companies must meet the RVP's Targeted Industries requirements listed and shall successfully complete the required due diligence process. This program will offer cash in -lieu of tax abatement for qualifying companies and the maximum amount of relief offered will not exceed $15,000. Given the $15,000 maximum, the RVP's Executive Committee will approve or disapprove projects presented under this program. The RVP Board of Directors has established a $75,000 annual cap for projects under this category. The Board of Directors will approve requests for funds above this level. kite The second substantive revision was Section II -B(4): "Brokerage fees will be paid to the broker that successfully completes a deal located in either the Business Center at College Station or the Bryan Business Park in which free or reduced land is offered by the community. The fees shall be limited to five (5) percent of the value of the land based on the value used when modeling the economic and fiscal impact of a qualifying project." The RVP expects this policy to encourage commercial realtors to refer prospects to the RVP. The City of Bryan and Brazos County have approved the proposed revisions to the Guidelines.
