In an April 2023 article about Rowan County's revised business-incentive policy, Rowan County Board of Commissioners Chairman Greg Edds said: “With rising demand for our sites, infrastructure, our centralized location, and quality workforce, it makes economic sense that we modify an outdated incentive policy that was crafted when, quite frankly, no one was interested in investing in Rowan County and its people. This will allow us to focus on more than just the amount of the investment that a company may be looking to bring to our community. Now, we’ll formally recognize the number of jobs, salary levels, benefits offered, whether they’re one of our target industries, and if they’re already investing in Rowan County and our people. This gives us a modern framework for building a strong, stable economy that will last.”
