We are excited to submit sites in Tulare County for consideration of location for Project Mockup.
Our county is centrally located in California, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco with State Highway 99 & 65, Highway 198 & 190, ideal for transportation logistics. This proposal includes sites that would be well suited for your company, given our central location within the State.

Tulare County EDC
SUMMARY
Our workforce is loyal and dedicated and as
diverse as our industries with many national
companies posting their lowest turnover rates at
their Tulare County operations. Our Workforce
Development Agency provides companies with
specialized training programs and offers
recruitment, screening and hiring services at no
cost.
LABOR / EMPLOYMENT / TRAINING
Tulare County is recognized as one of the top
three counties for agricultural production in the
nation and a top exporter of products in the U.S.
Our central location in California is ideal for freight distribution and it is possible to reach customers
with next-day ground delivery service. Tulare
County is equidistant to the Ports of Long
Beach/L.A. and Oakland and can offer Foreign
Trade Zone benefits through our subzone status
with FTZ 226.
LOCATION INCENTIVES-STATE / FEDERAL / LOCAL
The EDC manages the California Business
Incentive Zone that offers an array of
incentives for companies considering a
location in Tulare County. As a highlight, the
following may be available to your company
should you choose a location in Tulare
County:
Up to $10,000 local cash incentives to
offset permitting costs or other hard costs
associated with the project.
The EDC will help in accessing state
incentives eligible for your project such as
the California Hiring Tax Credits and will
provide consultative assistance in
applying for Cal Competes Tax Credit,
including providing any analysis that can
assist in attaining the tax credits.

ADDITIONAL INCENTIVES
BIZ Investment Incentive:
Tulare County has California’s only BIZ Investment
Fund, which provides up to $10,000 for the
company to use for permit application costs or
other hard costs associated with the project. The
EDC provides direct payment to help offset these
project costs.
California Competes Tax Credit:
California provides a credit against state income
taxes and the tax credit is negotiated with the
California Competes Tax Credit Committee. The
EDC has been successful in advocating for
millions in tax credits for companies that have
selected Tulare County as a final location and will
facilitate the application on behalf of the company
to access the maximum amount of credits
available.
Sales & Use Tax Exemption:
The state provides a partial exemption of sales
and use tax on manufacturing equipment and to
modifications related to the manufacturing space.
The EDC works closely with the state in accessing
the tax exemption.
New Employment Hiring Credit:
The state provides a tax credit for hiring qualified
employees that meet certain eligibility and wage
criteria. The EDC’s workforce development
partners work to assist the company in maximizing
the access of these tax credits.
Subsidized Employment:
Up to 100% wage reimbursement is available for
qualified hires through our subsidized employment
program.
Other employment related incentives:
The EDC’s workforce development partners
provide no-cost hiring assistance to the company
and assist to maximize access to federal and state
tax credits as well as local and state training
funds.
In 1998, the eight incorporated cities and county governments formed the California Business Incentive Zone (BIZ), the only one of its kind in California. The BIZ offers an unprecedented array of incentives for companies considering a location in Tulare County. The following represents our preliminary list of incentives available in Tulare County, pending due diligence of the proposed project and site location.
Interest Free 5 Year Fee Deferral:
Our local cities provide an easy deferred payment
plan for development costs which are interest free and
typically paid over a five (5) year period. Each city
negotiates their own deferral program.
Sales, Property and other tax sharing
arrangements:
Our cities have provided tax sharing arrangements
with companies depending on the revenue received to
the city and the number of jobs created. If the facility is a point of sale, the city may consider negotiating sales tax sharing with the company.
Fast Track Permitting:
Projects have been fast tracked in our communities,
including a 30 day expedited review for an 800,000
square foot distribution center. The cities of Tulare
County are committed to meeting or exceeding the
timelines established for this project.
Recycling Market Development Zone
(RMDZ):
Tulare County is home to the Greater So. San Joaquin
Valley RMDZ. The RMDZ provides attractive loans,
help in locating feedstock, streamline permitting and
other incentives to businesses located in designated
RMDZ areas and that manufacture products using
materials diverted from landfills.
Foreign Trade Zone:
Tulare County is included in U.S. Foreign Trade Zone
(FTZ) No. 226. The FTZ is a designated area that is
considered to be outside of U.S. Customs territory for
the purpose of customs duty payments. Savings are
realized in an FTZ through duty deferral, duty
elimination, duty reduction and Merchandise
Processing Fee Savings.
Project Manager:
During the site selection process, the company has
access to a designated EDC project manager and
following a final site selection, the City that is chosen would provide a dedicated staff person who would be
available to the company and their construction team.
