Even if they hit the stated goal job creation numbers, it would be over $150,000 in subsidies for a single job. Is that really worth it?

If the job pays well and is relatively stable it could be very worth it.

The thing about jobs like this are that they invite more opportunities. These manufacturing workers will want hairdressers, grocery stores, restaurants, teachers, doctors, etc.

Entire towns in the past used to get made on the backs of a few thousand manufacturering jobs.
