He said questions were asked at that time about whether it is still <br />an effective tool. He said that Mr. Norris and Mr. Taliaferro met with representatives of <br />technology businesses and the Virginia Piedmont Technology Council. He said it was <br />determined that the program is most effective for the first three years, but after that it is <br />not much of an incentive, so the restriction of three years was added to the ordinance. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris thanked Mr. Watts and representatives of the business community who <br />he said came up with good ideas for the program. <br /> <br /> Mr. Taliaferro also thanked the business representatives, and said the program is <br />another step to put emphasis on workforce development and open up opportunities for <br />citizens. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown thanked Mr. Norris and Mr. Taliaferro for looking at the issue. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Lynch, seconded by Mr. Norris, the ordinance entitled “AN <br />ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND REORDAIN CHAPTER 14 (LICENSES) SECTION <br />14-24 (TAX INCENTIVES FOR TECHNOLOGY BUSINESSES) OF THE CODE OF <br />THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE (1990), AS AMENDED, TO REAUTHORIZE <br />THE TECHNOLOGY ZONE TAX PROGRAM AND TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF <br />YEARS IN WHICH A QUALIFIED TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS MAY <br /> <br />
