Most of those Intel jobs are manufacturing and distribution.

Guess they were swayed by Senator Gravy's ad.

Maybe Ohio's politicians didn't demand as big a handout as Louisiana's traditionally do?
Less regulatory bullshite
More educated workers (at least a HS diploma and some college)
Less corruption.
Corporations will build where they can attract or move quality people. They'd lose a shite load of potential workers if they located to LA.

GIve economic development credit to JBE because Marrero landed a brand new Sally’s Beauty Supply.

That's okay - LA will keep subsidizing those chemical plants.

That'll happen with no real infrastructure investment since the interstate projects of the Cold War era in a state with politicians who use state coffers as their personal discretionary fund.
But hey, at least the food is good; however, you'll need to wait 15 minutes for da spicy.

So if Ohio gets this but the resulting development turns them blue again… would y’all say it was worth it?

No, but Louisiana has made it clear...they don't want industry they just want to make it easier for Injury Attorneys to profit.

I can understand Columbus.
But the massive investment in Arizona is curious. It’s a well run state that’s perfect for solar power…but with no water to support a rapid expansion that all of this investment will bring. Doesn’t Phoenix get everything from a depleting lake Mead?
For industrial expansion, that is every bit of a red flag as the potential for tornadoes or hurricanes in the south. It’s less of a concern for white collar jobs and research though. Arizona is doing well in that area too.

Its all about the incentives they are getting it sounds like.
quote:
The company hopes to take advantage of a global chip shortage to score incentives - on top of those given by Ohio. "The scope and pace of Intel’s expansion in Ohio... will depend heavily on funding from the CHIPS Act," Keyvan Esfarjani, Intel senior vice president of Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Operations.
Esfarjani is referencing a $52 billion subsidy package for the chip industry that was passed by the Senate last June, but since has stalled in the House
