It has certified over $300 million in industrial development bonds, constructed seven speculative buildings, built two industrial parks, and assisted with two others. The CIC is responsible for managing the industrial and office database for prospects and for responding to all regional and state inquiries, and it has received awards for marketing, retention and expansion, and economic development projects.
