Task force will promote tax credit for rural hospitals

Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle has assembled a task force of business leaders to promote the availability of a tax credit intended to help Georgia’s financially struggling rural hospitals.

“The idea behind this tax credit is really to create a sustainable financial model for rural hospitals across Georgia,” Cagle said at a capitol news conference Tuesday.

“You can’t just simply throw money at it — you’ve got to have real recommendations that are going to impact the bottom line,” he added.
