BACKGROUND
Foundry Commercial is considering a total investment of $14,023,000 (450/sq.ft.) to establish a 280,460 square foot warehouse and distribution facility in the Southridge Business Park, with the expectation to complete this investment on or before November, 2023. It is anticipated that the company’s capital investment in and at the property and its operations thereat will generate significant ad valorem tax, sales tax and other revenues to the County and will qualify for a Level One Grant. The County will prepare a detailed Economic Development Agreement (EDA), between Foundry Commercial, the County and Bessemer City, so as to induce the company to provide good job opportunities and capital investment which will enhance the County’s ability to attract additional business and industry.
