It doesn't work Rob. These types of "incentives" are ran in the red. By the time the abatements, subsidies and grants are used up, they move on to the next town that will offer them the same thing, leaving layed off workers, and seldom giving back to the community what the community put into the company. And so the cycle begins again.
