How might a city ensure that the benefits of hosting a giant corporation outweigh the sacrifices made in tax incentives?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

If a company's arrival means a rise in your city's cost of living, is it still worth the economic incentives provided?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Would you give up certain city services if it meant your city could attract a big tech company and potentially boost the economy?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

In what ways could a community benefit from having a major corporation like Amazon move in, apart from job creation?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

What are some potential downsides for a community when it gives large tax incentives to attract private companies?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Should smaller local businesses get the same financial incentives as large corporations; why or why not?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How would the arrival of a big corporation in your town change your day-to-day life, for better or worse?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

If a major corporation offered to bring 10,000 jobs to your city but requested significant tax breaks, would you support it and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

What could your community do with the funds that are often offered to mega-corporations as incentives to relocate?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How would you feel if a large company received tax breaks to move to your town at the cost of funding for local schools and infrastructure?

Yes as long as the company plans to employ local citizens of the area and I would prefer a lower corporate tax for all businesses, but I believe personally that this should be left to the states.

 @8YWHYGD from Ohio answered…2yrs2Y

No, but punish them for moving jobs out of the country, and spend that money on improving infrastructure and the community to attract companies.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as three criteria are met: the local environment is not compromised, the company promises to create new jobs by hiring local residents, and the tax revenue will eventually exceed the tax incentives

 @8Z3HWKL from New York answered…2yrs2Y

No, spend that money on improving the community and infrastructure, and the government shouldn’t subsidize private businesses.

Cities and states, yes. But have the central government punish American companies for resourcing products and jobs outside the country

 @Brunk from Georgia answered…3yrs3Y
