Preserving over 140 jobs, Uniboard’s intentions are to refurbish and improve the facility, along with building a second plant. The improvements, which range around $140 million, will generate an estimated 104 new jobs within the next three years.

The County of Chatham, NC, is offering tax refunds of as much as 80% of Uniboard’s property taxes over a five-year period. This tax break is reliant upon the company’s tax credibility, along with reaching the investment and job goals it is claiming. Uniboard was also offered a $250,000 grant from One North Carolina, an economic development corporation, pending local matching funds.

Governor Mike Easley said, “North Carolina is a long time leader in the wood products industry. Every job like this that we can reclaim in the weak national economy is critical, and we are pursuing them aggressively.”
