 5       NEW SECTION.    Sec. 1.    The legislature finds that associate

 7   success. Associate development organizations consist of 34 regional
 8   organizations servicing all of Washington's 39 counties, underpinning
 9   Washington state's economic development programs and initiatives
10   across the state. With a mission of confidential and client-based
11   economic development, associate development organizations enhance
12   economic development service delivery and results statewide through
13   public-private and state-local partnerships.
14       Therefore, the legislature intends by this act to establish a
15   competitive grant program to support innovation, sustainability,
16   partnerships, and equity at associate development organizations with
17   the goal of growing jobs, expanding existing firms, recruiting new
18   businesses, and supporting an equitable economy and inclusive
19   economic development.
