We have a big bunch of buildings built in the early 70's for a volkswagen plant.

Not only did the area give tax breaks and other incentives but the business coming to the area meant the construction of a new highway.

When the tax breaks ended so did the plant.

So, eventually, they lured Sony to the same plant with the same tax breaks.  I was at that announcement with the governor (budding radio reporter that I was) and my only question was: What happens when the breaks end?

Same thing happened and they left also.

Both times they left behind all the buildings that needed upkeep and thousands of employees who no longer had a job.

I believe there is something there now...I'll let you guess how the state lured them in.  I'll let you guess what will happen when those incentives end.

We did get the highway though.  Which the state has to maintain so they keep raising taxes to cover those expenses (on all roadways of course).

Incentives are great but they don't last forever.
