MILTON — Seventy-three jobs may be coming to Santa Rosa County by way of an aviation manufacturing company now called Project Tattershall.
The startup company will create advanced manufacturing jobs, according to Economic Development Director Shannon Ogletree. The core business will be a consulting and manufacturing-mixed business that will focus on the aerospace, energy, medical and high-tech commercial precision product, he said. The average wage of these jobs will be $44,000, 125 percent above the local average wage.
The Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners moved to Thursday voting on approval of the resolution for the State’s Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund Program and to provide the necessary match in the amount of $73,000 for the QTI program as well as discussion of approving the Super QTI incentive of $219,000 for a total of $292,000 from the county.
Incentives would be paid as jobs are created over the next five years, Ogletree said.
