Those public purposes can include the <br />potential for growth and spin-off development, whether the project includes special <br />design or amenities beyond that required by the zoning ordinance, or whether it <br />provides needed services within the City. <br />If a project results in the creation of jobs, a business receiving a subsidy will need to <br />establish how many jobs it will create and at what wag „! this policy proposed <br />will be at 110% of the <br />tonight, the City establishes that those guaranteed j <br />federal minimum wage requirements, plus benef <br />A public hearing is required before adopt' <br />2.
