Economic Incentive Approved in an Agreement dated November 21, 2000: County Manager
Mashburn said during the briefing that the minimum amount required of an industry to participate in
the county's incentive program was $3 million. He said that in the past, Eclipse Packaging was
approved for an incentive based on a $6,300,000 investment and the employment of 27 employees.
Mashburn said Eclipse recently applied for its incentive, but was denied due to the eligibility
requirement not being met. He said Eclipse's president was not aware that the county computed
depreciation on the investment. Mashburn said the company wanted the investment to be lowered to
$5,900,000 The county manager said the industry understood that if the requirement were lowered,
the incentive would be lowered.
