š„ 48 states have it. Arkansas doesn't. š¤
Issue 3 is a ballot initiative supported by the ARA that will allow local governments to create economic development districts and adequately compete for investments in their local communities. But most importantly:
ā
48 states already have it, and Arkansas doesn't, making Arkansans unable to compete for economic development;
ā
It doesn't raise taxes
ā
It gives full local control for communities to determine what they need and how to utilize economic development districts
