Smart Zones
In order to foster public/private technology transfer ventures, Public Act 248 of 2000 was passed in June 2000. This Act expanded the Local Development Finance Authority (LDFA) Act to allow the creation of up to 10 "Certified Technology Parks" also known as "SmartZones," conceptually defined as high tech development enclaves that are eligible for expanded tax increment financing and specialized state funding. SmartZones, as planned, will serve as critical masses of high technology innovation by fostering public-private partnerships in high-tech fields. SmartZones are required to be a partnership between at least one local unit of government and a public university (not limited to one university), requiring representatives from all such concerns on the authority. Certified Technology Parks may also receive funding from an LDFA established by two or more local units of government, the first time that tax increment financing has been extended thusly in Michigan.
