Empowerment Zone and Enterprise Community Program: Survey of Round I Federal Enterprise Communities

摘要

In response to a Congressional mandate, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is conducting a study of the Round I Empowerment Zone and Enterprise Community program. As part of this study, GAO is surveying all Round I Enterprise Communities that did not subsequently receive a Round II or Round III Empowerment Zone or Renewal Community Designation. The purpose of this survey is to obtain descriptive information about how designees implemented their programs and changes they observed in their Enterprise Communities. Results of the survey will be used in our report to the Congress and will help them understand how the program was implemented and what effect it had on the designated communities.
