The Region 9 Economic Development District of Southwest Colorado was approved by the Colorado Economic Development Commission to sponsor business applications to the State for Rural Jump-Start program, which incentivizes new businesses to start in or move into rural, economically distressed areas and hire new employees.
Businesses located in Montezuma, Dolores, Archuleta and San Juan counties are eligible for relief incentives provided by the program, a Region 9 news release said.
Cold Case, an Archuleta County-based company, has already received benefits from the program, including relief from state income, sales and property taxes.
