County set to review incentives

June 15, 2012

Catawba County commissioners will consider adopting new economic incentives on Monday that will make it easier to eradicate or re-use old, vacant industrial buildings.

The incentives would waive certain landfill and permitting fees for developers wishing to tear down — or re-use — dilapidated buildings to build anew. It’s a plan that county officials hope encourages economic development and revitalization at some of the area’s many vacant industrial and manufacturing sites.
