Job Development Investment Grant — High-Yield Project

Job Development Investment Grant High-Yield Project is the large-project tier under North Carolina's JDIG framework and sits with the North Carolina Economic Investment Committee. It is designed for major corporate investments that create at least 1,750 net new jobs and bring at least $500 million into the state. The term can run for up to 20 years, which gives the tier a longer runway than the standard JDIG structure. The reimbursement rate can reach 90% of the withholding-tax allocation tied to the project, with the remaining county-tier split handled through the Industrial Development Fund Utility Account for Tier 2 and Tier 3 sites. The base performance period is five years, and the published material does not set a separate dollar ceiling for the tier. Eligibility still depends on a company's ability to show a real competitive investment case in North Carolina. That makes HYP a fit for very large site-selection or retention projects where timing, scale, and wage impact all matter. Applicants need to bring a strong jobs-and-investment package and be able to sustain it over a long term. The tier works best when the project is large enough to justify the longer payment window and the state can clearly see durable employment value.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
