By the Numbers
Real Economic Value
Our investment in Florence goes beyond infrastructure. Every dollar spent in construction, every permanent employee hired, and every dollar in tax revenue represents a long-term commitment to Lauderdale County.
Tax revenue is allocated to: Lauderdale County schools, county roads, and public safety services.
At peak construction — local hire preferred, partnering with county workforce agencies
Operations, maintenance, security, technology, and skilled trades roles
Indirect and support roles created through ongoing facility operations
Representative campus building — subject to change
Community Benefit Agreement
Going Beyond Tax Revenue
Property tax revenue is only part of our commitment. We also believe a successful project should make direct investments in the community itself. That’s why the Florence Technology Parkwill work with residents to create a Community Benefit Agreement that reflects the community’s priorities.
Through public meetings and guidance from the Community Advisory Task Force, local residents will help identify projects that improve everyday life in Florence. Property taxes support local government. The Community Benefit Agreement supports the community itself.
