I don't see the point of your examples - A billion dollar fab will be 0.00001% of the forest. - Oil can be extracted without destroying forest

  Billion dollar fabs and oil rigs will create a ton of jobs and attract a lot of people to their surroundings. That means housing, local services to serve and sustain that population, local infrastructure paid for by increased tax revenue. The increased economic activity will attract more capital and start a self-sustaining cycle that will develop and improve vast areas. Everyone will want to be there to get a piece of that prosperity. I know because I literally live in a city where this happened. Steel industry. When my parents came here, it pretty much was a jungle. Now they call it the Steel Valley.
