2026 North Carolina General Election

Lassiter and Economic Development Director Kelly Leggett Bowers explored applying a community benefit agreement approach to their negotiations with corporations considering opening new production facilities in the county after discussing the concept as part of NACo’s Rural Leaders for Economic Mobility program (RLEM). This approach can lead to a binding agreement between the county and industry partners to both make meaningful contributions to county residents and to provide support for development projects.

Lassiter found those partners within Project Green Lantern. Together they developed a proposed community benefit agreement that pledged up to $24 million over 10 years to support education and workforce development initiatives, thereby ensuring job creation, training and workforce housing for the community.

Lassiter was excited by the prospect of adding new jobs and taxable entities to the county, but he wanted to be sure that current residents truly benefited from these new opportunities. He was skeptical of outmoded business attraction approaches that incentivized business by forgoing county revenue in property tax waivers or with little commitment to employing local residents.
