Description
An economic investment agreement (incentives deal) between the county and Bevara for Project Pressure. The public hearing was postponed to June 16 because the legal notice wasn't published in time and the agreement wasn't ready; Wilkesboro already approved its side.
Impact summary
Up to 92 new jobs and reuse of a long-vacant industrial building, with the county keeping 20% of new tax revenue and paying nothing unless Bevara pays its taxes first.
