Lincoln Journal Star on Nov. 26: Audit pegs cost up to $320K for each new job under state incentive program
Job creation is a major goal of the decade-old Nebraska Advantage Act, which provides tax perks to companies that meet specific requirements. Another aim is bringing more financial investments to the state, including new businesses.
Yet a review by the Legislative Audit Office showed just nine of 78 companies with Advantage Act projects as of 2014 were new to Nebraska.
Those findings were included in an 80-page audit report released to the public Wednesday.
