Reply to comment by NativeMasshole in Is there any way to find out what kind of subsidies/considerations Amazon received for the warehouses and half built Amazon Freshes that are sitting empty all over the state? by Happy_rich_mane

Oh wow. What do they get like tax breaks for bringing in jobs and “improving” the area ? There seem to be no consequences to not holding up their end of the bargain, or else it’s cheaper to pay the fines or whatever than to operate as planned.

Towns in general can offer incentives for businesses to come in and develop. It's a nice little premium that can help make the first year ROI nice.

Normally though there's a clause somewhere that if they don't produce, they have the regular taxes to pay and will get charged starting at x year. I forget the place you can find most of them but I'm sure a call to your BoS could get some info.
