The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Little Raymond’s Print Shop, Inc. up to $450,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $90,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The cities of Lawrence and Indianapolis approved additional tax abatement at the request of the Office of Mayor Dean Jessup and Develop Indy, a business unit of the Indy Chamber.
