Business Recruitment & Expansion
What We Do
Recruiting new businesses to Durham County is vital for our community’s economic health. These companies bring new tax revenue that can pay for important programs and services. They also create great jobs for residents, including well-paying entry-level jobs with benefits and career mobility. The main tool that Durham County uses in the program are incentives, which are calculated based upon new property taxes paid by the company. These incentives pay for themselves, and are also tied to a community benefits program, such as educational partnerships, local workforce engagement, and/or sustainability committments. Staff work with the various companies to ensure compliance with job and investment numbers.
