Incentives

Incentives are another integral part of the business environment with the goal of promoting growth and strengthening a company’s presence in a geographic region. Discretionary incentives are generally negotiated with economic development officials in advance of the public announcement of a project. These incentives can include both tax benefits (e.g., credits, abatements, and exemptions) and non-tax benefits (e.g., grants, loans, and streamlined permitting).
