Catawba County is committed to the growth and
diversification of its economy. Catawba County and
its local municipalities, in addition to the state
of North Carolina, have several programs that offer
business relocation assistance and foster new and
expanding businesses and industries that generate
job creation and investment.
State Incentives
Relocating a business to North Carolina, or anywhere
for that matter, requires research, time and
investment. The Catawba County EDC can work with you
and your company to secure business relocation
assistance and find the best available relocation
incentives in NC.
Qualifying businesses can receive state incentives
in North Carolina including, but not limited to:
▪
Tax credits for jobs created
▪
Job development investment grants
▪
Funding for select business purchases and
infrastructure costs
Local Incentives
Local incentives are
granted by each municipality and then by Catawba
County on a case-by-case basis. Enter into a joint
economic development agreement to receive the
maximum business relocation assistance available.
Some general
guidelines for incentives applying to economic
development agreements in the Hickory Metro include:
▪ Companies must submit a letter requesting
assistance
▪ Projects must not have started construction
prior to consideration of the
application
▪ Economic development is exclusively for new
businesses and businesses
undertaking expansions
