The School District where Tesla is considering for a giga factory and potential truck manufacturing facility is revealed today. The school district is considering a $68M tax break in property taxes paid the first 10 years of operation. This is out of an estimated $80M in property taxes related to the proposed new facility. Additional incentives are being considered by the local county as well but not disclosed today.

The disclosure mentions sites in Tulsa are also under consideration. The plant proposed will be the largest Tesla factory in the USA, surpassing Fremont Ca which employs 10k workers,

This disclosure is part of the process to approve the tax incentives being offered to Tesla by the Texas location. No city is mentioned so this property must be in an unincorporated area. The state may offer other inducements for new jobs of this magnitude.

The location is SE of Austin not in the city proper.

The school district gets hundreds of new students and loses many millions. Sounds like a bad deal off hand. Going forward with the virus challenged economy, would 10,000+ workers really work there? I wonder what the Tulsa side of the deal would have to give up.

That's part of the story....let's keep it simple and see how it works out in Texas. Been incentivizing big anchor company to relocate here and we have funded great schools and other jnfrastructure needed just fine. But as with most things it's not just what you do but how eeffectiveky you do it matters too.
