Project Zeus scaled back: county contribution cut as jobs projection falls to 10
Summary
The board approved a modification to Project Zeus that reduces projected jobs from 40 to 10, shifts to renovating an existing facility, and lowers the county’s contribution from $37,000 to no more than $10,000.
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved a modification to an economic development incentive known as Project Zeus at its Feb. 16 meeting. The change reduces the project’s expected job creation from 40 to 10, changes the plan from new construction to renovating an existing facility, and reduces the county’s contribution from $37,000 to a maximum of $10,000. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioners characterized the change as a modification to the expansion project; the minutes state the reduced county contribution and the narrowed jobs projection. No additional conditions or a revised timeline for the project are recorded in the minutes.
