LINCOLNTON – Lincoln County commissioners voted unanimously Monday night to grant Sabo USA $5,441.80 per year over five years if the company agrees to invest at least $2 million in an expansion.

The company also must provide at least 12 new jobs within two years paying at least $400 per week.

Sabo, located in the Lincoln County Industrial Park in Lincolnton,  manufactures parts for the automotive industry.

Construction on the expansion should begin by November.
