> Stretched for resources, officials took part of the money from Youngstown’s water and wastewater funds, which had been earmarked for sewer and water projects. They also approved massive tax breaks for the property. And they spent an additional $360,000 to purchase and demolish the homes of roughly a dozen residents who lived within the footprint of the future Chill-Can plant. That's not going to come back to haunt them. > More than three years later, Youngstown is still waiting. I wonder what's the hold up? > Infrastructure problems, such as aging utility lines, have delayed the project... Ah, there it is! If there is a better definition of stupid I'm not sure what it is. It's been a consistent story of towns shorting the budget to cover tax breaks, usually at the expense of the school budget, to entice companies to migrate there. Then when they do they find out the workforce isn't educated enough for the tasks, or the infrastructure is in terrible shape, or it's simply a scam.
