I read some oregon or washington rural county threw incentives at a data center.

It ended up being so automated it employed 6 people total. Maybe in 100 years they would recoup the incentives.

... edit: but I can't find the original story. I did see ones where the automated centers still produce a lot of property tax revenue but the lack of jobs is good because it doesn't further load municipal resources...

I guess it comes down to smart accounting.
