Local Incentives

Financing -United Pulaski and the Hawkinsville/Pulaski County Development Authority offers an attractive alternative to conventional financing through the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRB’s). This financing mechanism can offer considerable savings for projects and United Pulaski stands ready to guide qualified companies through this process.  In addition to the bond financing, United Pulaski can assist companies in exploring alternate financing programs such as those offered through the US Small Business Administration, USDA, One Georgia and the Georgia Small Business Lender, Incorporated.

Property Tax - The City of Hawkinsville and Pulaski County offers property tax abatement. This incentive would be based on the number of jobs created and the amount of capital investment. United Pulaski will assist you in applying for this benefit.

Freeport Inventory Tax Exemptions – Raw materials and goods in process of manufacture, finished goods produced in Georgia within the last 12 months and held by the original manufacturer and finished goods destined for shipment out-of-state are all eligible for a 100% property tax exemption.

Alternative Solutions – The United Pulaski Board of Directors will assess the overall economic impact each project to determine potential areas where additional incentive measures could be appropriate.  Such incentives may range from requests for state grant assistance to discounted site costs for publicly owned industrial sites to other areas of consideration as identified by prospects during the site selection process.
