Ralliant’s decision to establish its headquarters in Raleigh reflects the city’s dynamic economy, highly skilled talent pool, and outstanding quality of life. The state’s Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) played a significant role in supporting the company’s expansion plans.

Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG): Ralliant’s Approved Grant and Projected Return on Investment

The JDIG grant, approved by the state’s Economic Investment Committee, authorizes the potential reimbursement to Ralliant of up to $2,630,250 over 12 years. The grant is tied to the company’s incremental job creation and investment targets. Using a formula that takes into account the new tax revenues generated by the new jobs and the capital investment, the JDIG agreement projects a return on investment of 195 per cent.

For every dollar of potential cost, the state receives $2.95 in state revenue. The project’s projected return on investment of public dollars is 195 per cent, meaning the state will receive a significant return on its investment.

Industrial Development Fund – Utility Account: Supporting Rural Communities and Infrastructure Development

Ralliant’s JDIG agreement also calls for moving $876,750 into the state’s Industrial Development Fund – Utility Account. The Utility Account helps rural communities finance necessary infrastructure upgrades to attract future business.

Even when new jobs are created in a Tier 3 county such as Wake, the new tax revenue generated through JDIG grants helps more economically challenged communities elsewhere in the state.

The company’s investment in the area will create 180 new jobs with an average salary of $189,479, bringing an annual payroll impact to the community of more than $30 million per year.

The state’s support through the Job Development Investment Grant and the Industrial Development Fund – Utility Account has played a significant role in facilitating Ralliant’s expansion plans. The company’s decision to locate in Raleigh is a vote of confidence in the region’s economy and quality of life.
