A couple of years ago my bank ran a promotion where if you sign up as a new client, you receive a new iPad. I have had an account with this bank since I was a child, and have grown into a reliable client over the years. Like all my bank's current clients, we don't see incentives like this once we're 'under the roof.' This thought was swirling in the back of my mind as I gave a presentation to the Energy Diversification Advisory Committee (EDAC) recently. In the presentation, we highlighted that in 2012, the Iowa state government gave $22 million tax credits to draw a $1.7 billion plant expansion for an existing company that also has operations in Alberta. That expansion came online in late 2016, creating 100 new, high quality jobs. Iowa's offer is essentially giving iPads to its best clients. The state knew that the company operated globally, and were likely looking at multiple possible expansion projects. To ensure that investment landed in their jurisdiction, they offered an existing business an incentive package that sweetened the pot and directly led to nearly a 100:1 return on investment... read more
