The City of Franklin and Southampton County aggressively recruit companies seeking to make a significant investment in both capital and new jobs in the community. One recruitment strategy is the joint Enterprise Zone designation which offers local incentives and state grants to qualifying companies. Within or outside the Enterprise Zone, Franklin Southampton Economic Development will work with the Commonwealth of Virginia to customize incentive packages that positively impact the bottom line of companies seeking to relocate or expand. Franklin Southampton Economic Development would welcome any opportunity to discuss potential incentive packages for your company’s next project.
