Denver, CO (June 9, 2016) - Towards the end of May 2016, Velocity Global worked with the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) and was awarded an almost $1.9 Million dollar state tax incentive in return for pledging to create 193 jobs in the state of Colorado, organized by the Economic Development Commission.
This tax incentive is part of a larger pool allocated by Colorado EDC, totaling around $14.3 Million dollars that should help create over 800 jobs in the state.
The Colorado Economic Development Commission (EDC) was created by the Colorado General Assembly to promote economic development in Colorado. It consists of nine members, five of whom are appointed by the Governor, two by the President of the Senate, and two by the Speaker of the House.
The EDC approves loans and grants from the economic development fund to public and private entities throughout the state to help existing businesses expand and new companies locate to Colorado. It also implements marketing programs to support ongoing business activities.
All policy and funding decisions are made by commission members. The commission is also responsible for policy decisions concerning the state Enterprise Zone program.
Velocity Global is honored to receive this vote of confidence from the Colorado Governor's office and is excited to be a part of the economic prosperity of the Denver Metro area and the state of Colorado as a whole.
