The California Manufacturing Enhancement Areas (MEAs) were created in 1997 to stimulate job creation in areas experiencing triple the average of the state's unemployment rate and located in a Border Environment Cooperation Commission Region. MEA benefits include, but are not limited to:
- Streamlined local regulatory controls;
- Reduced local permitting fees; and,
- Tax credits for hiring qualified employees.
Currently there are two MEAs, Calexico and Brawley, both of which are located in Imperial County. These MEAs will expire in 2012.
