Development Agreements for Numara, LLC and Valara Holdings, LLC
A dozen fee-in-lieu-of-tax and joint park ordinances are being considered for companies including Michelin, Milo's Tea, Red Rock, Airsys, Pivot Energy, and others. These deals reduce what companies pay in property taxes in exchange for investment and jobs.

Three development agreements are headed through the process: a high-performance computing center on S. Pine Street and data centers on Tyger River Industrial Drive and near Jones Road (~137 acres). These deals shape where large industrial-tech facilities land and what the county gets in return.
