Yeah, more like the $150,000,000 wasn't enough to grease all the required corrupt palms in Niagara Falls. Edited July 8, 2019 by Koko78

Yeah, more like the $150,000,000 wasn't enough to grease all the required corrupt palms in Niagara Falls. I did some real estate work in NF and am well aware of the lock that unions have in that town. Also it takes a stack of 100 dollar bills to grease the skids with the non union people controlling the project. My particular project had a real estate tax price tag of just under $30,000. That identical store would have a real estate tax of $6,000-$8,000 in PA. A well known discount grocery chain with headquarters in Germany located there and their real estate people told me that construction labor costs were about 75% more than for a typical store. Of the many, many stores that I found locations for the NF store is the only one that failed to stay in business.

Of course I hold my breath when I first hear of stuff like this and wish for the best. It still is upstate Western New York. so you think government should be taxing us and then spending money where it pleases, but when it does you don’t expect much success and hold your breath and hope?

Tesla doesn't use Panasonic's cells in their roof tiles. They're still ramping solar roof production at the Buffalo Gigafactory. There are a ton of arguments against subsidies like this (I'm personally not a fan), but the BN is only muddying the water here. 1

Don't misunderstand me - I'd love to see WNY turn things around, but I'm honestly surprised that so many people are willing to put up with the heavy taxation, the depressed economy, and the brutal winters associated with the region. There are many attractive alternatives with lower taxes, more jobs, and little to no snow to slog through. And sunlight, don’t forget sunlight.
