NC Asking Dell to Pay Back Incentives

North Carolina Governor Beverly Purdue went on record this week with the expectation that Dell repays the $280+ million of incentives offered to the company for opening a desktop manufacturing plant in the state.

Quoting Purdue, “We made it very clear to them (Dell officials), and they already understood it quite frankly, that every red cent of incentives money had to come back to the people of North Carolina,”

However, Forbes.com reported on 10.09.2009 that it is unlikely that the state will recoup much of the funding that was spent on road upgrades and worker training.
