Joining the ranks of 14 other companies in the state, Violet Gro will receive performance driven tax incentives for bringing its business to the state and making a commitment to job creation, academic engagement, and meaningfully adding to the economic base of rural Colorado. “Our Rural Jump Start Program is designed to support new, innovative businesses in Colorado that help grow rural Colorado economies with high paying jobs that benefit the region,” said Betsy Markey, Executive Director of the OEDIT. “We look forward to seeing Violet Gro’s impact on Grand Junction and Colorado’s hemp industry.”
