JCB agrees to SA incentive package

UK Truck Maker Settles on SA for $265M Plant

For months now, Great Britain heavy equipment manufacturing company JCB has been mulling over building a plant in Bexar County. It’s starting to look like more of a sure thing. City, county and state leaders have agreed to an incentive package valued at nearly $32 million. The San Antonio Report outlined details that include incentives amounting to $13.7 million from San Antonio, $12 million from Bexar County and $5.7 million from the State of Texas.

JCB plans to soon break ground on the new manufacturing plant on 400 acres at 13610 State Highway 16 in May. The company plans to invest at least $265.7 million and create a minimum of 1,580 new full-time jobs by the end of 2028.

If it didn’t land in San Antonio, JCB was planning to put its new plant at its North American Headquarters in Savannah, Georgia, which offered a combined $125 million in incentives, according to a joint incentive application filed with San Antonio and Bexar County.
