Since its first agreement with the county, the company has more than doubled its workforce and increased its spending with local businesses.Intermountain Electronics CEO Bobby Houston presented a proposal for a second Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) agreement for the Loudermilk Industrial Park expansion. The company is requesting a seven-year agreement that would provide a 75% rebate on increased property taxes in exchange for creating 200 additional jobs.Houston said the company has already met the 286-job requirement in its original agreement, which offered a 75% rebate on increased property taxes over 15 years. The company reached that goal in mid-2026, well ahead of schedule.During the presentation, Houston said the company has seen significant growth since 2023, with revenue increasing by about 304%. The workforce has also grown from just under 300 employees to more than 600, with about 620 employees currently.According to Houston, the company has also increased its spending with local businesses by 13.5 times and its investment in local facilities by more than six times. Houston said Intermountain Electronics has continued to work with local vendors despite receiving offers from larger national suppliers.Houston also noted that the company’s tax payments have nearly tripled since the original agreement. He said Intermountain Electronics has continued to support local businesses as it has grown, crediting those relationships with helping it reach its current position. The new agreement would run for seven years and require the company to add 200 jobs.During public comment, resident Jake Hardy questioned whether the company’s job growth could continue as automation becomes more common. He raised concerns about the future increased use of data centers and artificial intelligence and asked whether those changes could eventually lead to fewer jobs.Houston responded by explaining that the company keeps in touch with its business partners about changes in the industry and what they expect in the coming years. He said having that information gives the company time to prepare and make changes as needed.Houston said the company has adapted to changes in the past, shifting from mining to oil and gas and later into renewable energy. He also said the company is working to train employees with less experience and give them room to grow within the company.After the public hearing, commissioners approved the resolution adopting the Loudermilk Industrial Park project area plan and budget. They then reconvened as the county commission and approved Ordinance 2026-599, officially establishing the project area.</div></body>
