Lake County approves Kroger agreements, reallocates incentive money

Lake County commissioners on Tuesday approved termination agreements with Kroger and its partner Ocado, officially ending the 10-year economic incentive deal tied to the Groveland delivery fulfillment center the companies are closing. The county had provided more than $1.3 million in incentives to Kroger and Ocado to support the facility, which employs some 1,000 people who are expected to be laid off.
