Haysville Incentives:
Many of the state tax incentives were created to assist local counties or cities with economic development efforts. As a result the state incentives are made available through a city or county on behalf of the business. Additional local incentives are listed below:

Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP) - A retail business can locate in the NRP and take advantage of a state tax rebate program.  Haysville has adopted a program that allows for the return of up to 95% of the increased tax value for (4) years  from participating entities that a business creates when it constructs a new facility or the increased value of the new tax value of a major renovation in the NRP zone.  This Incentive is limited by geography to a specific area of the community.  For additional information contact the Community Development office at 316-529-5909.

Micro-Loan Funds – Many start up companies and expanding business need access to funds to expand or ad product line.  Often these financial needs can be met by accessing the Micro-Loan Programs supplied by Sedgwick County or South Central Kansas Economic Development District (SCKEDD).  Loan can be as small as $5,000 and up $25,000 or a combined loan of $50,000 can be obtained. These funds are subject to the State CDBG guidelines and are to be used to stimulate self-employment activities. Loans can be made for; working capital, equipment, land and building. For additional information contact the Haysville Community Development Office at 316-529-5909.

Industrial Revenue Bonds - A business can use IRB'S as a low cost tool to help finance their projects. In addition, the bonds allow for a reduction or abatement of the property taxes created by the increased value of the project and the non-collection of the sales tax that would be collected on the project.

Local Property Tax Abatement - Each city can adopt a property tax abatement policy. Haysville has adopted policies that allow abatement for up to 10 years. These policies are based upon the number of new jobs that are created and the amount of new capital investment that the business brings to the Community. Copies of the policies can be obtained from the Haysville Community Development office upon request.

Enhanced Enterprise Zone Benefits - Haysville is located in Sedgwick County which is designated a metro county by state definition. This means that if your business meets state guidelines it can receive a state allowed $1,500 income tax credit per new job created and $1,000 of income tax credit for every $100,000 dollars of investment into the project.  In addition the state allows for the non-collection of sales tax that would otherwise be expended in doing your project.

Training Programs - Haysville participates with the state in supplying access to the state training funds. The KIT, KIR and SKILL programs are made available to both existing and new businesses in the state. In addition to state programs, Work Force Development will work to develop any custom programs that a prospect might need. The KIT and KIR funds can be accessed to help pay for this type of training. The Skill program is available to help train a large force of people over a long period of time.

Community Development Block Grant Programs - Haysville participates in applying for CDBG funds where applicable and where the business can hold a project while it waits for the state to award these funds. The CDBG program is useful if a business needs a low-interest loan, but it does place constraints upon the business.
