New Albany has a lot of corporate headquarters relative to the size of the city, even when you exclude the Les Wexner (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Wexner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Wexner) companies. Big Lots, Red Roof Inn and Bob Evans are the most prominent, but there are lots of other major companies with measurable presence (one of the two AWS US-EAST-2 DCs & a FB DC), too. From looking at the town's operating plan, The New Albany Company (a planned community, where Wexner & friends have/can buy up all of the swampy farmland they want and grow the city limits as necessary) already have lots of land (both for C&I and residential) and can offer tax breaks/rebates that can't be matched for corporations, instead relying more on the taxes from the residential developments of $500k+ homes (probably 1.5-2x MSA median) in the area (if you want to see a gerrymandered map, look up New Albany-- it is very deliberate in excluding multi-family developments from the city limits).
