Government Incentives
Help Lower Your Expansion Costs
State and local governments offer programs that help cover some expansion costs. What is available depends on your project and location.
Tax Credits & Exemptions
Tax credits, lower property taxes, and sales and use tax exemptions reduce costs on eligible purchases and investments.
Infrastructure Assistance
Government programs help pay for eligible utilities, roads, and site improvements needed for your expansion.
Grants & Workforce Funding
Grants and workforce programs help pay for hiring, employee training, equipment, and other eligible costs tied to your expansion.
Could You Qualify?
Could Your Expansion Be a Fit?
Eligibility depends on your project, location, and applicable programs, including investment, workforce, wage, and timing requirements. IMG can help assess potential opportunities, even if your plans are still taking shape.
Timing matters. Some programs need to be considered before you choose a final location, sign agreements, buy major equipment, make commitments, or announce your project. Talk with IMG while your plans are still flexible.
Start with a complimentary consultation to discuss your expansion plans and potential incentive opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of government incentives are available to expanding businesses?
Programs may include tax credits and exemptions, grants, workforce training support, and infrastructure assistance. Some have set eligibility rules; others involve negotiation. Availability depends on the project and location.
Does my project need to create new jobs to qualify?
Not always. Some programs support eligible capital investments, job retention, or employee training. Others require new jobs. IMG can help assess which requirements apply to your plans.
When should I contact IMG about a planned investment?
While your plans are still flexible. Some programs require an application or approval before you choose a site, buy equipment, sign agreements, or announce the project.
Can existing facilities or modernization projects qualify?
They may. Investments in existing facilities, equipment upgrades, or modernization can be eligible under certain programs. The project, location, timing, and program rules determine what is available.
What happens during the initial complimentary consultation?
We discuss your project, possible locations, investment and workforce plans, and timing. You can share estimates or explain what is still undecided. The conversation helps identify potential opportunities and appropriate next steps; incentives are not guaranteed.
