Senator Doug Berger has introduced a bill (SB2075) to redefine multi-county industrial parks and expand JDIG grants this year by $10 million per year in addition to the $15 million in budget bill that passed both chambers, bringing the total to $25 million per year or $300 million.
From past experience with Dell, Google and Goodyear, if there’s an odd-sounding request for incentive money, there’s a specific company that’s asking. There’s said to be a report floating around with details on the project, but many legislators are voting without this knowledge. A challenge to LR readers:
- Who is the mystery company?
- What multijurisdictional industrial parks might fit the definition in the bill?
- There’s some indication of this happening near Elizabeth City. Anything fit there?
