…Might be FedEx:
FedEx Corp. has begun to draw economic incentives pledged 11 years ago after the company announced it would build its latest national cargo hub at Piedmont Triad International Airport.
FedEx, which opened its hub June 1, has received approximately $2 million in incentives so far, said Jim McCluskey, a spokesman at corporate headquarters in Memphis, Tenn.
…..The FedEx package will combine incentives based on property, sales and income tax benefits and growth in hub activity, McCluskey said. The approximately $2 million that FedEx has received so far in state incentives involves waived sales tax on building supplies to construct the hub, McCluskey said.
…FedEx, which has pledged to create 1,500 full- and part-time jobs when the hub is fully operational, now has about 200 workers. Its hiring has been stunted by the recession, though company officials have said that they are in a position to expand at the hub as business conditions warrant it.
Hey, hey, shipments are up.
