The Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity recently awarded MasterControl Solutions Inc. a post-performance tax reduction for its expansion in Salt Lake County. The corporate incentive is part of the state’s Economic Development Tax Increment Financing program.
As part of the agreement, MasterControl projects to add approximately 155 new, high-paying jobs in Utah during the next six years.
