Subject:Targeted Employment Area (TEA) Designation
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
of a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) to encourage businesses in an Enterprise Zone to
hire eligible residents from census tracts that have at least 51 percent of its residents with
low or moderate income.
A TEA may be, but is not required to be, the same as all or part of an enterprise zone. In
addition, its boundaries need not be contiguous. Although the boundaries of the
enterprise zone and the TEA do not need to overlap, there are several geographic
restrictions. For example, at least a part of each eligible census tract within a TEA shall
be within the territorial area of the jurisdictions that comprise the enterprise zone. Only
those census tracts within the jurisdictions of the entities participating in the enterprise
zone (Unincorporated Contra Costa County and the City of Pittsburg) may be included in
a TEA. This restriction precludes census tracts from jurisdictions that are not a party to
the enterprise zone from inclusion in the TEA. Portions of the unincorporated County
from North Richmond to far East County are proposed for inclusion in the TEA.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The requirements of the Department Housing and Community Development for
finalizing the Pittsburg/Bay Point Enterprise Zone will not be fullfilled.
