  Commenting on the program, David Carver, president of PEDA, notes, "Once again, the commonwealth sets the standard for creative and customer-driven economic development programs that will be well received by present and future companies relocating to Pennsylvania."Big steps also have been taken to meet the financial needs of high-tech industries.The Pennsylvania Technology Investment Authority (PTIA) is a prime example.Introduced in 1999, this unique and multifaceted financing tool has a comprehensive approach to technology implementation and enhancement for both employers and communities.It features a capital fund for investments in knowledge-based concerns, grants for businesses and communities to support e-commerce, and funds for strategic investment in university-based research centers.This past March the authority issued nearly $12 million in grants.This includes $2 million for the Pittsburgh Digital Greenhouse; $2 million to Pennsylvania State University for semiconductor manufacturing technology; $1 million to Pennsylvania State University's Engineering Research Center for Innovative Sintered Products; and $4 million for the Ben Franklin Technology Center of Southeastern Pennsylvania for a loan-guarantee pool that will leverage bank financing for high-technology concerns.

  High Construction Company--Tax Incremental Financing... - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 7/1/2003    Last Visited: 10/7/2009  

  According to David Carver, executive director of the Harrisburg-based Pennsylvania Economic Development Association, tax incremental financing has been used effectively in up to 30 redevelopment projects in larger cities around the state since its introduction as a funding vehicle in 1996. "I can't think of a project that hasn't been effective in inducing further development," he says.
  ...
  Carver says the decision left a "specter" hanging over the TIF approach to development. If tax incremental financing triggers the prevailing wage, he explains, the cost of a project can increase "substantially"-by as much as 20 to 30 percent. And if this is true for tax incremental financing, he adds, it's likely to hold true as well for financing through the PA Business in Our Sites Fund.
  
  The best solution, Carver believes, is legislation to create a "firewall" so the involvement of public money doesn't trigger the application of the prevailing wage for the private-sector investment in a project. He contends this issue "has to be resolved if you're going to use TIFs" in Pennsylvania. Otherwise, he argues, "you're not going to have a lot of development" utilizing the TIF fund and Pennsylvania will wind up being "at a disadvantage" in trying to compete with other states. Carver says legislation is pending but has not yet been introduced.
