Clinton Hastert unveil multibillion aid plan for renewal areas
The White House and Congress reach a bipartisan pact to aid poor neighborhoods through tax breaks and incentives. The package, valued at about 5 to 7 billion dollars over five years, blends Clinton's new markets idea with Hastert's renewal communities, expanding empowerment zones and adding a new markets tax credit. Churches would gain access to federal grants for substance abuse programs, and provisions target low income home ownership and venture capital, with nine new zones planned and $200 million in empowerment zone funding next year.
