Technology Incentives

Region 2000 understands the importance of creating an environment that is friendly to technology businesses. One of the ways we are working with our technology companies is by offering special incentives, which are currently available in three locations within two Region 2000 localities.

Qualified businesses relocating or expanding operations in a Technology Zone may receive incentives that include: local permit and user fee waivers, local tax incentives, capital investment grants, and additional incentives through local Industrial Development Authorities.
