Existing Tax Incentives:
Community Development Block Grant - CDBG
CDBG provides a community the ability to apply for up to $10,000 per job (either created or retained) within a period of two years. The grant is to provide public infrastructure improvements (roads, water, sewer, etc.) necessary for the location, expansion or retention of a specific industrial company.
