Lincoln County's Incentives Luring New Businesses

LINCOLNTON, NC-Commissioners approved Lincoln County’s incentive program in early 1999 because the county felt it was missing certain economic opportunities by not having such a program. To date, three companies have signed deals with the county that give them tax breaks ranging from 75% to 85% in exchange for substantial investments in property and equipment.

A Florida retailer’s decision to build a warehouse in the Lincoln County Industrial Park is the latest success story. Robb & Stucky, a Fort Myers, FL-based retailer with 13 stores, is spending $4.8 million to build a warehouse early next year at the park on Finger Mill Road. The company will employ about 20 warehouse and office workers.
