Sedgwick County Incentive Policy

The communities in Sedgwick County have an incentive policy for the expansion of existing businesses within Sedgwick County, Colorado and to encourage new businesses to come to our County, thereby stimulating the local economy by providing additional employment opportunities and expanding the tax base required to provide County services.  These policies are different in each community, but we work together to provide economic incentives.  This policy contains specific criteria, guidelines and procedures necessary to effectively and fairly administer economic development incentives.
