From the N&O

In the next two years, Lotus Engineering will create 108 jobs paying salaries of about $48,000…Lotus Engineering could get up to $1.49 million in tax breaks through a
state Job Development Incentive Grant over nine years if it creates the
predicted number of jobs.

The facility will be built at the Advanced Vehicle Research Center in
Garysburg, which is expected to open this year through funding by
state, local and federal governments.

Nowhere does anybody mention an amount of investment from Lotus, because there is none. Golden LEAF is providing a $1 million grant for “Project Chapman.”
