Jackson County offers a discretionary incentive program that packages the support you need to help your business thrive, from cash grants to site assistance to utility connections. In addition, we offer a statutory incentive program based on job creation and minimum investment, helping companies find the resources they need to locate here in our county.
Our incentive policies, which assist businesses in bridging critical financing gaps, can provide an array of tools for new and expanding businesses, including loans, grants, site development, land and infrastructure assistance.
The Jackson County Revolving Loan fund was established to assist qualified small businesses with gaps in financing. The fund is managed by local government and is vetted through a Loan Review Committee, appointed by the Board of Commissioners, to determine feasibility.The Board of Commissioners makes the final decision regarding the approval or denial of all loan applications.
