Celgard, a Charlotte company that's become a darling of politicians for its green technology work and job creation, will get a little more love on Monday morning.

Gov. Bev Perdue is expected to announce that Celgard will receive another financial-assistance package in exchange for the promise of adding more jobs. Perdue is scheduled to make a jobs announcement at 10 a.m. in Concord, where Celgard is opening a facility to make membranes used in lithium-ion batteries.

U.S Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, N.C. Department of Commerce Secretary Keith Crisco and other officials are expected to join Perdue at the facility's dedication ceremony.

N.C. Commerce Department officials will meet in Raleigh shortly before that on Monday morning to approve an incentives package. It's unclear how much money is involved or how many jobs are planned.

A Charlotte-based company helping develop batteries for electric cars plans to expand and add a new facility in Concord, adding 289 jobs.

Celguard now has 390 jobs in Charlotte. The new jobs will pay average annual salaries of $56,960. The company is a division of Polypore International, a publicly traded company also based in Charlotte.

Celguard stands to receive state incentives worth up to $5.56 million over 11 years if it adds the new jobs and retains the existing ones. N.C. Commerce Department officials approved the breaks this morning in Raleigh.

Of the new jobs, 209 will be added in Concord, about 150 miles west of Raleigh.
