The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier AllenMarket Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist for Raymond James Investment Services The economic data were mixed, but generally consistent with a moderate economic recovery. Residential construction figures fell sharply in May, reflecting the impact of the expiration of the homebuyer tax credit on April 30. Industrial production continued to advance in May, boosted partly by higher utility output – a function of unseasonably warm weather. Manufacturing output rose 0.9%. Capacity utilization continued to rise, but remains well below the average level of the last several years (and far below levels that might be considered “inflationary”). The Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell 0.2% in May (+2.0% year-over-year – but unchanged relative to December 2009), held down by flat food prices and a drop in energy, which was largely due to the seasonal adjustment. Ex-food and energy, the CPI edged up 0.1% in May, which put it up 0.9% year-over-year. Weekly jobless claims remained stubbornly high. «Read the rest of this article» Sections: News | 0 comments
Council tackles East-West Corridor OrdinanceBy Councilman Bill Summers Ordinance 94-2009-2010
Based on that and given that some council members and property owners thought the offered alternatives to the current route should be more fully explored, I amended the ordinance to require that the 2007 study should be updated with the latest factors. In addition, the study would include an analysis of the offered alternatives and provide any rationale as to their value in addressing the factors associated with Clarksville transportation needs by 2030. The study would be required to be finished 120 days before next year’s new budget cycle. This would allow for analysis of the chosen route and a decision as to extend the moratorium another year to allow for survey work. By year three, the affected property would have to be bought. «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Commentary | 0 comments

A few thoughts on the East-West CorridorBy Councilwoman Candy Johnson
There has been ongoing debate as to why this is and is not needed at this time. City planners state that by the year 2030 tiny town road will fail if this corridor or some other traffic relieving measures is not taken. In my opinion there is a KY route that was brought up in the past (2007) that could alleviate some of the same future traffic concerns being mentioned in this same area. Little discussion or collaboration with Oak Grove, Hopkinsville, and Ft. Campbell has taken place with regards to this project. This would be a Gate 4 to I-24 corridor instead of the Gate 1 to right behind Kohl’s shopping plaza, which is being proposed. «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Commentary | 0 comments

House Passes Small Business Capital BillInitiative Would Reinvigorate Investment in Small Businesses Washington, DC — The U.S. House of Representatives this week passed the “Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) Act,” H.R. 5297, by a vote of 241-182. The legislation will aid small businesses in securing capital through new community bank incentives, support for state lending initiatives and by opening venture capital markets to small businesses. “As our most prolific job creators, small businesses will be central to the recovery of the U.S. economy,” said Rep. Nydia M. Velazquez, the Chairwoman of the House Committee on Small Business. “However, for entrepreneurs to expand and create jobs, they need access to financing. The measure we approved today will make both credit and equity capital available for small firms.” «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Politics | 0 comments
