incentives that may be offered by the public body in negotiations. Chairman Darrell Frye, Vice-

Ms. Gettys said that Project Superman is a company that manufactures plastics in multiple
locations in the US, Canada, and Mexico. They are looking for a site with water and sewer that
can handle truck traffic. There could be a possible rail spur. This project will generate 129 jobs
and an investment of approximately $36 million. This is a competitive project with Georgia.
Ms. Gettys suggested two incentives. Both Boards were in consensus that she could use those
incentives for this client.
At 4:41 p.m., on motion of Allen, seconded by Kidd, the Board voted 5-0 to return to Regular
