A Sustainable Future
When jobs are available and attainable, a community
has more energy, more hope, and grows stronger
and better. Our success in developing new jobs,
whether from new companies coming to the area,
or existing companies expanding, has been fulfilling
indeed...but we still have plans for even more
jobs – and an even better future –
for our region.
Empowerment Zone Job Incentives
In partnership with the local economic development
corporations, incentives are offered to businesses
to expand within the Zone. Success has come in
the form of new jobs from companies such as Amazon.com,
InfoCision, American Foundation for the Blind
and IC Logistics.
