JOBZ lands jobs for Luverne that would have gone to South Dakota
April 23, 2004 - Mainstreet Radio's Mark Steil reports on JOBZ (Job Opportunity Building Zones), a Minnesota jobs program. What Governor Tim Pawlenty calls the "mother of all economic incentives" has landed its first big out-of-state prize for rural Minnesota. A South Dakota company says Minnesota's JOBZ program played an important role in its decision to expand to Luverneā¦but despite Pawlenty's enthusiasm, officials with Total Card, Inc. say JOBZ was not the most important factor.
