<br />III. PROJECT QUALIFICATIONS
<br />To be considered eligible for a industrial development incentive grant a project
<br />should be required to meet certain basic criteria. These criteria are to be used
<br />as guidelines in project evaluations. Additional criteria may be applied to a
<br />specific project based upon the terms of the agreement between the industrial
<br />client and county (cities/towns as applicable).
<br />
<br />minimum value project to qualify for consideration:
<br />Level I grant - $ 5,000,000 or greater
<br />Level II grant - $ 20,000,000 or greater
<br />Level III grant - $ 100,000,000 or greater
<br />Level I grant - up to 75% of local property taxes to be paid by the new or
<br />expanding industry for a period of five consecutive tax years
<br />Level II grant - up to 80% of local property taxes to be paid by the new
<br />or expanding industry for a period of five consecutive tax years
<br />Level III grant - up to 85% of local property taxes to be paid by the new
<br />or expanding industry for a period of five consecutive tax years
<br />Under no circumstances would any new or expanding industry receive an
<br />industrial development incentive grant that lowered the net tax payments
<br />paid to the county (cities/towns as applicable) to a level less than the
<br />local property taxes paid in a prior year
<br />Ail industrial development incentive grants are to be specifically
<br />designed to be paid from the tax payments actually made by the industry
<br />receiving the benefit. Grant payments will not be made unless the
<br />applicable industry is current in all other required local property tax
<br />payments of record within Cabarrus County.
<br />Industrial development incentive grant benefits may not be transferred or
<br />otherwise conveyed to another party without the specific consent of the
<br />Board of County Commissioners
<br />Cities/towns must agree to abide by the terms of this proposal for it to
<br />be applied to sites within the cities/towns or on a site subject to
<br />annexation. The industrial development incentive grant formula' applied to
<br />a project within one of the county's cities/towns will be applied at the
<br />same level as authorized by the Board of County Commissioners.
<br />ALL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE GRANTS WILL BE CONVEYED BY A FORMAL
<br />AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE INDUSTRY RECEIVING THE GRANT AND THE COUNTY ALONG
<br />WITH AFFECTED CITIES AND TOWNS AS APPROPRIATE.
<br />
