RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - Cosmetics giant Coty will invest $19 million and add 25 jobs to its Lee County facility over the next three years. The firm already employs more than 750 people, and also relies on contractors.
 
Coty's brands include Calvin Klein, Chloé, Davidoff, Marc Jacobs, OPI, philosophy, Playboy, Rimmel and Sally Hansen.
 
Coty’s expansion in North Carolina was made possible in part by a performance-based grant of up to $62,000 from the One North Carolina Fund. The One NC Fund provides financial assistance in support of local governments in creating jobs and attracting economic investment. Companies receive no money upfront and must meet job creation and capital investment targets to qualify for grant funds. All One NC grants require a local government match.
 
In addition to North Carolina Commerce and EDPNC, other partners in the project include the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, NCWorks, Lee Cou
