Amendment One, the Local Option Economic Development Amendment on the
November 5 ballot, is a local economic development tool that can help create
jobs.
It is a financing option that counties and municipalities can use to attract and
finance new job growth in the state.
Taxpayers will not see an increase in their property taxes, and extensive safeguards
have been placed in the legislation to make sure the initiative is handled properly.
Amendment One has broad support in West Virginia and the West Virginia Association
of Counties says if the taxpayers understand the amendment, it will pass.
