Generous Incentives, Financing and Low Taxes

One of America’s most business-friendly states, North Carolina makes it particularly attractive for new, expanding and relocating companies to choose Duplin County. You can learn more about state funded incentive programs at the NC Department of Commerce web site.

North Carolina Incentives
Targeted, performance-based incentive programs complement the state’s competitive cost structure and low business tax burden to offer businesses a cost-effective place to locate or expand. The amount that the state may offer any project is dependent upon a number of factors including the tier ranking of the county where a project is considering locating, the number of net new jobs proposed, the wages of those jobs and the proposed capital investment.

Infrastructure financing programs, including bonds, grants and loans, provide important resources necessary for some projects. North Carolina also offers funds to construct access roads and railroad access tracks required by a new or expanding industry.

A number of important discretionary incentive programs, including the One North Carolina Fund and Job Development Investment Grants, are also available to high-impact new and expanding businesses.
