The Missouri Department of Economic Development has approved state tax credits under the Enhanced Enterprise Zone program for Nestle Purina PetCare Company, Inc. of St. Joseph, Mo.
The program will help support economic development efforts and create jobs by providing state and local benefits to companies that expand or locate in the zone. The zone’s boundary will include the new facility located at 4502 Packers Ave.
The department has reserved tax credits for the five-year benefit period in the amount of $1,069,318 based on the company’s projection of 40 new jobs and new investment of $36,849,271.
The Enhanced Enterprise Zone program was implemented in 2004.
