Public Hearing & Summary Presentation - EDC 'Project Rabbit'

The Rowan EDC will give a presentation to the Board of Commissioners regarding an incentive request from ‘Project Rabbit.’ The company is considering Rowan County for its new distribution facility.

 

If our community were chosen, the project would create 2,500 full-time jobs by the end of 2028. In addition to these full-time jobs, the company would also create 2,600 seasonal part-time jobs.

 

While these numbers are preliminary, the company estimates that it will also invest over $584 million in new construction and equipment.
