BOARD
OF COMMISSIONER
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
ON ECONOMIC INCENTIVE GRANT
Davidson
County proposes to appropriate and expend County funds for the following economic development project pursuant to North Carolina
General Statute §158-7.1. The County Board of Commissioners intends to consider entering into an economic development
incentive grant contract with Project Cobalt Green.
Project
Cobalt Green will be entitled to a grant each year for three (3) years to be paid by Davidson County, provided the Company
meets the requirements of the contract as to investment, jobs, and wages. The calculation for payment of the grant will be
.0027 times the total investment in plant, machinery, and equipment. The grant will not exceed $41,580.00 per year. The County
will fund the payments using available revenues from the County’s General Fund or Economic Development Fund. The company
plans to invest a minimum of $15,400,000.00 and create a minimum of 120 new jobs over the first 36 months of the contract
with an average salary of $70,000 per year.
The Board of Commissioners
believes the foregoing grants will stimulate the local economy, increase the County tax base and revenues, result in the creation
of new, permanent jobs in the County, and promote the welfare of the County and its citizens.
The Davidson County Board of Commissioners will hold public hearings on the County’s proposed
appropriation and expenditure of funds for these grants at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, September 22, 2025, in the Commissioners Meeting
Room located on the 4th floor of the Davidson County Governmental Center, 913 North Greensboro Street, Lexington, North Carolina.
The Commissioners will consider all information that they believe to have a bearing on these grants. The Commissioners invite
all interested persons to attend and present their views. The Board may adjourn the hearings from time to time.
As a result of the public hearings, substantial changes might be made in the advertised
proposals reflecting objections, debate, and discussions at the hearings.
Persons with disabilities who may need special accommodations to participate in the hearings should notify the County
Manager’s Office at 336-242-2200 at least 24 hours before the start of the hearing.
