CUSTOMIZED INCENTIVE PROPOSALS
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Our Business Recruitment Team creates customized incentive proposals for clients based on capital investment,
job creation, employee salaries and each company’s unique needs. We also coordinate with community
economic development professionals for local incentives such as discounted building and land purchases,
reduced property taxes, build-to-suit agreements and finance packages. All types of assistance offered for new
company locations are also available for subsequent expansions.
The Department of Commerce has three workforce training programs to offset a company’s training costs.
Companies creating new jobs may qualify for Investments in Major Projects and Comprehensive Training
(IMPACT) or Kansas Industrial Training (KIT) assistance. Eligibility for either program depends on the number
of jobs created and the corresponding wages. We also have the Kansas Industrial Retraining (KIR) program to
retrain a Kansas company’s existing workforce on new technology or production activities. Projects involving a
Kansas Basic Industry – which includes manufacturing, distribution or regional/national service facilities – may
qualify for these programs.

New! Promoting Employment Across Kansas (PEAK) –
This program offers qualified companies the ability to retain 95 percent of their payroll withholding tax for up
to five to seven years. PEAK is available to new operations in Kansas as well as relocated operations to the
state. Companies need to create at least 10 new jobs within two years in metropolitan counties or five new
jobs within two years in all other counties of the state. High-impact projects that create 100 new jobs within
two years can retain 95 percent of payroll withholding tax for up to seven to 10 years. The number of years
that the withholding tax can be retained depends on how much the annual median wage of the jobs at the
Kansas worksite will exceed the current county median wage and the discretion of the Kansas Department of
Commerce.
Wind and Solar Bond Financing – This allows for up to $5 million in bond financing per project for
eligible wind and solar energy manufacturers. The bonds are paid off from the payroll withholding tax of the
new jobs. To qualify, a project must create at least 200 new jobs within five years, pay at least a $32,500
average salary and generate a minimum capital investment of $30 million.
Kansas Economic Opportunity Initiatives Fund – The Department of Commerce can provide a
zero-percent interest forgivable loan to qualified companies. This loan can offset costs associated with the
establishment of a new facility or the expansion of an existing facility. Eligible costs include site improvements,
construction, build-out and purchases and relocation of machinery and equipment. The loan is forgiven in 20
percent annual increments over a five-year period based on meeting the job and payroll targets. Approval
of funding for this program is based on the number of new jobs created, the level of wages paid to the new
employees and the economic impact of the project.
Y
ou’re looking for a great place to grow
your business. A place with low operating
costs, talented workers and business-friendly
policies. A place with competitive financial
incentives and leaders who know business. A place
where innovation is the norm, not the exception. If
this sounds like the perfect place for your business,
then Kansas is where you need to be.
But don’t just take our word for it. Ask the folks at

10 state for business. Or better yet, ask the folks at
Cerner, General Motors, U.S. Bank, J.P. Morgan
and Siemens Energy, all of which have announced
new facilities in Kansas in the past two years.
These are global companies that could have gone
anywhere in the world, and they all saw Kansas
as the place to be. So come take a look at Kansas.
We think you’ll like what you see.

Industrial Revenue Bonds – Industrial Revenue Bonds are a popular method of financing up to 100
percent of a growing business’ land, building and equipment. IRBs are securities issued by cities and counties
to provide funds for creditworthy companies to acquire land, construct and equip new facilities or remodel and
expand existing facilities. IRBs allow fixed-rate financing for the life of the bond for the project.
Community Development Block Grant – Eligible small city and county governments may apply for
Community Development Block Grant economic development funds to make water, sewer, rail spur, roadway or
other infrastructure improvements designed to assist companies in creating jobs. These funds may also be used
by a business to acquire land or buildings, construct or renovate facilities, purchase machinery and equipment
or for working capital. Under this program, companies can apply for up to $35,000 per job created with
a maximum limit of $750,000. At least 51 percent of the jobs created with CDBG funding must be held by
individuals who, at the time of hire, meet the low- to moderate-income guidelines for the county location.
Infrastructure funding requires that half of the funding be paid back over a 10-year period at a rate of 2
percent. Financing for working capital, equipment and real property carries a fixed rate equal to 4 percent or
3 percent below prime, whichever is greater, set on the award date. The term of the loan depends on the type
of assets being financed: working capital up to five years, equipment up to 10 years and real property up to
15 years.
Partnership Fund – The Department provides low-interest state funds to cities and counties for infrastructure
improvements that support Kansas basic enterprises such as manufacturing and distribution. Eligible projects
may include construction, rehabilitation or expansion of public facilities, including roads, streets, highways,
water supply and treatment facilities, water distribution lines, wastewater collection lines and related
improvements.

and world-class scholars, fund equipment
and lab space for research and facilitate the
commercialization of bioscience discoveries.
All of these programs offer direct financial assistance to pay a negotiated portion of the costs to train a
company’s employees. Companies may apply the assistance toward items such as instructors’ salaries; meals,
travel and lodging (including out-of-state or international travel); video development; textbooks and training
manuals; supplies and materials; temporary training facilities; curriculum planning and development and in
certain situations reimbursement of trainee’s wages for up to six months.
INCOME TAX INCENTIVES
Enterprise Zone Program – This program offers corporate income tax credits for net, new job creation
and qualified capital investment in Kansas. Eligibility for this program depends on the type of business and the
number of jobs created. Manufacturers need to create at least two net, new jobs, non-manufacturers five net,
new jobs and ancillary support and headquarters at least 20 net, new jobs.
The Enterprise Zone job creation and investment tax credits are available throughout Kansas except for the
metropolitan counties of: Johnson, Wyandotte, Douglas, Shawnee, Sedgwick and Leavenworth. All other
areas of Kansas are considered in an Enterprise Zone and can offer the benefits of this program to eligible
companies. The benefits include corporate income tax credits of $1,500 per net, new job created and a
1percent tax credit on qualified net, new capital investment. Designated non-metropolitan counties in Kansas
can offer an enhanced tax credit of $2,500 per net, new job created. The credits can be used to significantly
reduce a firm’s corporate income tax liability in a given year, and unused credits may be carried forward to
future tax years.
High Performance Incentive Program – This program provides a 10 percent corporate income tax
credit on the qualified capital investment of an eligible company. Qualified capital investment can include such
items as the purchase or lease of a facility or equipment, remodeling or build-out costs, fixtures, furniture and
computers. Equipment transferred to Kansas from out-of-state is also credited at the original acquisition cost.
The 10 percent tax credit is awarded to companies that operate an eligible business, pay above-average
wages and invest in employee training. The credits can be used to significantly reduce a company’s corporate
income tax liability in a given year. Credits must be used within a consecutive 10-year period.
A key component of the High Performance Incentive Program is the completion of the Project Description form,
which must be submitted to the Department of Commerce prior to the company signing any document, such as
a lease or purchase agreement, which commits the company to locating or expanding in Kansas.

redevelopment costs. Qualified costs can include: public improvements (streets; sanitary sewers; storm
sewers; drainage improvements; underground water, gas, electrical services in public right of way); site
preparation; parking facilities; landscaping and decorative amenities and land acquisition costs. TIF cannot
be used for the construction of buildings or other structures to be owned or leased by a developer.
•
Community Improvement District (CID) Financing
CID financing allows cities to levy special assessments or a sales tax of up to 2% within a Community Improvement District (CID) and to use proceeds of the assessments and/or sales tax to either finance projects
within the CID or to pay debt service on Special Obligation (SO) or General Obligation (GO) bonds issued to
finance projects within the CID.
•
Transportation Development District (TDD) Financing
A TDD may be created to finance certain projects to include bridges, streets, interchanges, intersections,
signage, signalization, parking lots, parking garages, bus stops and stations, airports, docks, lake or river

•
Industrial Revenue Bond IRB) Financing
IRB financing is a cost-efficient method that finances up to 100% of the purchase of land and costs to
construct and equip new facilities or the costs to acquire, remodel and expand existing facilities. IRBs are
securities issued by cities, counties and the Kansas Development Finance Authority. There are tax-exempt
and taxable bonds based upon what is financed. Other benefits include eligibility for a 100% property tax
abatement for up to ten years and a sales tax exemption for labor and materials purchased for new facilities.
The City requires a 50% Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT), which results in a property tax abatement of
50% for up to ten years.
•
Special Benefit Districts
Special Benefit Districts finance public streets, sanitary sewers, water mains, storm water and other public
improvements when those improvements confer a special benefit upon property within a defined area.
Established special benefit districts levy and collect special assessments upon property in that district and
provide for the payment of all or part of the improvement costs from proceeds of such special assessments.
