BACKGROUND
Trinity Capital Partners is considering a total investment of $44,000,000 to establish an 876,000 square foot warehouse and distribution facility in the Delta Business Park, with the expectation to complete this investment on or before December 31, 2022. North Carolina General Statute §158-7.1 authorizes a County to undertake an economic development project by providing grants for the location of industry. Gaston County has developed an economic grant policy to provide global advanced manufacturing companies and distribution facilities with high quality industrial park locations. 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. Gaston County will prepare a detailed Economic Development Agreement (EDA), between Trinity Capital Partners and the County, 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.
