NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING on May 5, 2025, at 5:30 p.m

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. §158-7.1 that the Henderson County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing at a regular meeting on May 5, 2025, at 5:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the Board can consider the matter, to consider the request of the “Project Sweet Tater” company (the “company”), for economic development incentives.

Project Sweet Tater is an agricultural research business concern located inside the United States (including Henderson County) contemplating new investment at its site in Henderson County.
Under the project as proposed, the public benefit to be derived from the capital project is a total taxable capital investment by the company of at least $4,775,000.00 over two years in real property improvements and business personal property (equipment). The project would result in the retention of thirty-five (35) jobs, and the creation of thirty-four (34) new jobs, with the new jobs paying an average wage of $59,147 per year (which is in excess of the average wage in Henderson County for full-time employment) plus other benefits. The contemplated incentives would last for a period of seven years. The first year’s contemplated incentive, if granted, would be not more than $5,732.30., based on the new investment, the number of retained employees, and the Board’s incentives guidelines for job retention projects. The maximum amount of incentives to be considered in this grant over the seven years (for each of the two annual investments) would be $48,809.40.

Henderson County will consider granting assistance toward the investment of Project Sweet Tater.

If approved, the request would be funded through the general property tax revenue. The hearing will be held in the Commissioners Meeting Room of the Historic Courthouse, located at 1 Historic Courthouse Square, Hendersonville, NC. The public is invited to attend and comment.

Clerk to the Henderson County Board of
Commissioners
