Incentives

Grants, Loans, and Incentives

Breckinridge County does not have a set local incentives program, however we will negotiate individual incentives with companies as needed. There are state-supported programs available for qualifying projects. Depending on the type of project, these resources may help support business growth, expansion, or investment.

Payroll Grant

Kentucky Business Investment (KBI) Program

This grant provides 5 percent of gross wages for up to 15 years for qualifying projects (10-plus new jobs, capital investment of at least $100,000, average wage of at least $9.06/hour plus benefits of an additional 15 percent)

Corporate Tax Rebate

Kentucky Business Investment (KBI) Program

Sales and Use Tax Refund

Kentucky Enterprise Initiative Act (KEIA)

For new or expanding projects, KEIA provides a refund of Kentucky sales and use tax paid by approved companies for building and construction materials permanently incorporated as an improvement to real property. KEIA is also available for Kentucky sales and use tax refunds for eligible equipment.

Workforce/Cost of Labor Incentives
