Senator Heath introduced House Bill 15-1002, concerning the economic gardening pilot project. The bill modifies the Economic Gardening Pilot Project and extends its termination date to June 30, 2017. The bill repeals statutory deadlines for the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) to select participating companies in the pilot project and repeals a 12-month limit on OEDIT services to a participating company.
