Summary
The commissioners set a public hearing for June 2 to receive comments on economic incentives for Project Pioneer, which the staff said could include a grant of up to 30% of new real and personal property tax revenues payable over 10 years in exchange for a company investment of up to $756 million and creation of up to nine jobs.
Wayne County commissioners scheduled a public hearing on June 2, 2026 to receive public comment on proposed economic incentives for a confidential business listed as Project Pioneer.
Under the proposal summarized at the May 19 meeting, the board would consider an incentive grant of up to 30% of new real and personal property tax revenues, payable over 10 years, in exchange for the company's commitment to invest up to $756 million in capital improvements and create up to nine jobs in Wayne County. Staff noted the project remains confidential while the company obtains state approvals and said county representatives Mark or Julie will attend the June 2 hearing to explain incentive details.
The board will hear public comment at 9:30 a.m. in the commissioners' meeting room on June 2; no incentive agreement was approved at the May 19 meeting and any final action will require subsequent board consideration after the public hearing and review of the company's commitments.
