Economic Development Projects - Under Contract

This dataset includes information on economic development projects that have been awarded incentives through Iowa Economic Development Authority programs as early as FY 2003, have signed contracts with the state and are in either the “performance” period, the “maintenance” period or are "in default" as of the end of the fiscal year noted. In most cases, projects are required to have met job, wage and capital investment obligations by their “Project Completion Date”. Beyond the completion date, projects are required to maintain the obligated jobs and investment through the “Maintenance Date." All projects provide information on total project costs, capital investment, as well as the amount of direct assistance and tax credits awarded to the project. Projected and contracted job data is available for all projects. However, project completion jobs and reported jobs is only available for those projects in the "maintenance" period. Projects in the "performance" period are still in the process of being implemented and are not yet complete. Projects in Default were considered “in default” as of the end of the annual report cut-off date (typically end of fiscal year). The status “in default” is a temporary one since businesses are allowed a contractually designated cure period to correct the default. Reasons for being considered “in default” range from not filing required reports to not creating the obligated jobs or investment required by the contract.

本数据集收录了自2003财年以来，通过爱荷华经济发展局项目获得激励措施的经济开发项目信息。这些项目已与州政府签订合同，并在截至指定财年年末处于“执行期”、“维护期”或“违约”状态。在大多数情况下，项目须在其“项目完成日期”前满足就业、工资和资本投资义务。完成日期之后，项目需至“维护日期”维持既定的就业和投资。所有项目均提供关于总项目成本、资本投资以及授予项目的直接援助和税收抵免额的信息。所有项目的预期和合同就业数据均可用。然而，只有在“维护期”的项目才提供项目完成就业和报告就业数据。处于“执行期”的项目仍在实施过程中，尚未完成。被视为“违约”的项目是指截至年度报告截止日期（通常为财年年末）时处于违约状态。‘违约’状态为暂时性，因为企业有合同规定的纠正违约期限。被视为‘违约’的原因从未提交必要报告到未履行合同规定的就业或投资义务，情况各异。
