Business Incentives

BARNESVILLE BUSINESS INCENTIVE PROGRAM

In an effort to encourage retail and industrial businesses to locate within the Barnesville trade area, interested individuals are encouraged to take advantage of the Barnesville Business Incentive Program.

With a total value in excess of $5,000, the Incentive Package is designed to assist new businesses with many of the expenses associated with opening existing businesses, as well as individuals who are starting new businesses.

The Incentives are made available by existing businesses as their way of supporting local economic development. The incentives include everything from free utilities to discounted advertising; building and remodeling supply discounts to networking opportunities!

To qualify for the Incentive Package, interested businesses must build, purchase or lease commercial property in the immediate Barnesville area, as well as submit a business plan for review.
