Today we find out that Kingman, Mohave County, and the State of Arizona and others are offering a large private company money to move to the area.
Here is the article.
The reason I bring this up is because it really was not all that long ago that many folks in Kingman were up in arms about entering into 'incentive' deals with private firms to attract business, jobs, and other forms of revenue.
Now to be fair in this case Kingman is only offering $60,000 (which I doubt will be reimbursed by the private firm any time... as in ever). I also fully support any effort to bring another 75 jobs to the area.
If Kingman is willing to invest $800 per job on this project, why are some in the community not willing to invest $0 for 3,000 or more jobs?? Not to mention investing $0 for a net add in sales tax revenues among other benefits like public safety and convenience??
