180 [S3E27]: Andrea "De" de la Rosa on Managing the Bloomington Urban Enterprize Zone
We talk about the Bloomington Urban Enterprise Association. It's run by a city board of directors appointed by mayor and council. The BUEA oversees the city's Urban Enterprise Zone. Businesses and residents of the Zone can benefit tax-wise from the Enterprise Zone's Investment Deduction; revenue from the EZID generates a pot of money in the mid-six-figures annually. Someone has to figure out how to distribute each year -- which is harder than it sounds.
Andrea "De" de la Rosa is our guest today. We learn some of the finer points about the BUEA, and talk about her role working with small businesses, as she's both the executive director of the BUEA and the Assistant Director for Small Business Relations and Development in the city's department of Economic and Sustainable Development.
