Sounds probably about right in scale. 5-10x more employees per sqft for common industrial or manufacturing businesses.

But local negative impact on community is not remotely comparable to most industrial development. Everything from traffic, noise, pollution, etc. A few bad projects aside, these things are glorified warehouses typically sited in suburban industrial parks or the middle of nowhere.

It all really just comes down to the electricity needs they demand. Otherwise it’s about as close to as free money to a community as you can get.

The most problematic thing to me with this whole deal are local tax abatements. Those should be outright illegal though for any development.
