As Patch previously reported, the proposed location will be at Buford Plaza at 2801 McFarland Boulevard and is expected to have 45-50 employees once it is open.

Doing business as Dunkin' Donuts via Alabama Donuts LLC, the incentives approved Monday night is a standard sales tax rebate package.

The project will see a capital investment of roughly $975,000, with the City of Northport committing to a profit-sharing approach that would see the two entities split one-half of the sale tax revenue generated by the business.

The term of the incentives package is seven years, with the revenue given in the form of incentives capped at $275,000.

Bids are currently out for construction and the owners hope work will begin in the next 30 days.

The target date for opening is mid-June.
