The Columbus County Board of Commissioners will conduct a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. today (Monday) to consider changes to the county’s economic development incentive (EDI) grant policy and then, later in their meet- ing, consider whether to approve the proposal. The proposed changes are patterned after incentives already adopted by the City of Whiteville, incentives which would exempt from property taxation for five years any improvements made to businesses for renovation and expansion. While Whiteville’s program has no cap, the proposed policy commissioners will consider would limit the incentive to either $250,000 or $200,000, depending on seemingly contradictory language in the document.
