Two companies will bring a combined 274 jobs to rural Utah because of a state incentive program.
C&J Specialties, a Utah-based snack manufacturing company, and Kent Outdoors, a sporting goods manufacturing company, both received a post-performance tax reduction through the Rural Economic Development Tax Increment Financing (REDTIF) program.
Over the next two decades, C&J Specialties plans to add 190 jobs and invest $1.7 million in rural Utah. The snack manufacturer expanded to Ephraim in 2015. Colby Divecha, CEO and Owner of C&J Specialties, said the company is grateful for the state’s support.
