The factors that may be considered include but are <br />not limited to the following: <br />' 1. The type of industry or business as a further diversification of Cabarrus <br /> County's business base; <br /> <br />' 2. The size and scope of the project based upon investment in site <br />development, facilities, buildings and other business infrastructure <br /> inclusive of technology; <br />' 3. The diversity, quality and quantity of jobs created by a project, including <br /> whether the industry or business provides company-paid benefits such as <br /> healthcare, vacation and pensions and the degree to which wages exceed <br />' the county average; <br /> 4. The potential for future expansion of investment and employment; <br />' 5. Site specific issues impacting public infrastructure; <br /> 6. Actions that if pursued, stimulate development in areas of Cabarrus <br />' County deemed beneficial; <br /> 7. The ratio of investment in real versus personal property assets; <br />' 8.
