An Atmosphere Friendly to Business:
Leaders of Hardin, Jefferson and Orange Counties understand the importance of having a vibrant business community and have business-friendly policies in such areas as tax abatements that have attracted major investments from Exxon Mobil, DuPont, Goodyear, Conn’s Appliances corporate headquarters, and others. Neighboring cities and counties generally have similar attitudes, which explains why some $15 billion in new industrial construction is on the horizon for the area (three refinery expansions, two liquefied natural gas terminals, and one new gasification facility).
