The company would receive up to $434,272 in incentives over seven years, according to the report. Companies must pay wages that are higher than the average factory wage in the county in order to be eliglble for economic development incentives.

The county’s Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on the incentives on Wednesday, Oct. 19.

Norafin produces specialty and technical nonwovens and composites targeting industrial markets such as filtration, performance apparel and specialty applications.
