maximum benefit of $562,500. A question previously arose when it
appeared that Polar's initial investment would be in excess of $25
million and there was no provision for the County to provide any
additional benefit. The current agreement allows for every
$250,000 of investment in excess of $25 million a training benefit
credit of $1,125.00 which is equal to the amount of taxes that
would be received off of the additional investment.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the manager was satisfied that
the "door" closed on Polar after five years. Mashburn said this
was correct. The Polar officials would have to reapply if there
was any expansion.
Commissioner Stewart inquired about any permissiveness in the
agreement. In essence, she wanted to make sure there was a strict
understanding the money was to.be used for jobs in Iredell County
only. Attorney Pope said he would review the document to make sure
the document did not imply any permissiveness in this area.
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to authorize the Chairman to
sign the Polar documents subject to final review/approval by
Attorney Pope.
