About Us
The Lincoln County Development Authority was established to promote economic development in our county, to create jobs and enhance the quality of life for our citizens. The Authority provides services to structure economic development and assist existing and prospective companies in many phases of expansion or site location. The Authority cooperates with local, regional and state agencies to promote the location of a prospect within Lincoln County.

The Authority consists of an all volunteer seven member board, appointed by the County Commissioners. Authority activities are accomplished by levying up to (1) mil of tax to fund the operational budget. Additional funding may come as a result of grants or leases.
Economic development is an ongoing and sustaining process, essential to planning for the future. Development is also important to the revenue base of Lincoln County. Economic development programs and tools are used to recruit industries, strengthen businesses and stimulate the economy.

Lincoln County is poised for greater growth anticipated through 2025. This growth will allow the county to strive toward attracting the type of residential, commercial and industrial growth that will best meet its overall goal of providing employment opportunities for all its residents, while still protecting the rural character of its jurisdiction. The pro-business attitude of the local leadership offers a warm welcome to industries, businesses and entrepreneurs.
