Ball Corp Abandons NC Job Incentive | Raleigh News
Description
North Carolina just canceled a $3 million incentive deal for Ball Metal Beverage Container Corp., halting its expansion near Charlotte after the company failed to meet hiring targets—despite plans to create 220 high-paying jobs and build a major aluminum can facility for Red Bull. Construction began last fall, but delays derailed their timeline, prompting Ball to request termination before receiving any funds. The grant is performance-based, so no money changed hands yet. While Ball’s project is now in limbo, Red Bull still expects operations to launch by 2028—highlighting how critical delivery on promises is in state economic incentives.
