The new New York: rewiring a better business engine

Article Abstract:

The state of New York is becoming more attractive to businesses as an industrial site because of reforms which are abolishing high taxes, high energy costs and problematic government agencies. General Motors Corp. is planning to expand its Tonawanda engine factory to produce lightweight engines for its Saturn Division. As a result of Gov. George E. Pataki's promise to reduce taxes, legislation was passed to lower by 20% state income tax which is equivalent to $2 billion in the first of three years.

New parts keep the engine running

Article Abstract:

The West Midlands, England, expects growth at an annual rate of 3% from 1994 to 1997. Manufacturing industry has benefited from a rise in exports which in turn has boosted employment. Automobile production has helped fuel economic growth in the region. Growth in manufacturing is likely to continue but the service and retail industries are more vulnerable to changes in government policies. A rise in interest rates would hit the construction industry and tax reductions would boost demand.
