PV Magazine has been reporting for two weeks that the Chinese manufacturer authorized its U.S. subsidiary to finalize plans for the investment, code-named “Project Volt.”
As reported by actionnewsjax.com, the agreement with Project Volt, signed by the Jacksonville City Council, binds the city and state to an initial $53 million in economic incentives.
The city’s share is capped at $24.2 million to be collected between a qualified targeted industry tax refund that pays out per job and a recaptured enhanced value grant that represents the increase in property taxes from the company’s operation.
Project Volt is hoping to bring 800 jobs to the Jacksonville area at an average salary of $46,000.
