Statesville City Council on Aug. 18 approved an economic development incentive for Project EcoClean, a planned expansion by Sheetz Laundry Club that would add manufacturing capacity in Statesville tied to building improvements and new equipment.
An applicant representative (Mr. Goodson) told council the request was for a grant of up to $20,541, payable at $6,847 per year over three years, tied to a $2.2 million capital investment and the creation of 9 to 15 new jobs. The investment work is expected to be completed by Dec. 31, 2027. Council opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke. A motion to approve the incentive passed unanimously.
