Notably, this location is not far from where the Foxconn facility was going to be installed (the "eighth wonder of the world", 10k+ jobs, yada yada). After that debacle, I can imagine local residents are deeply skeptical of new big development projects.

It's about 15 miles north. Microsoft is already building a data center on some of the land that Foxconn didn't use

I remember this. The state widened a freeway at humongous expense for it, expecting gridlock from the 10k+ employees.
