[Cialug] Apple datacenter in Waukee

[Jarrod Igou]

Last paragraph in the article linked above:

The Apple deal is strictly tax breaks, unlike a controversial deal for
Foxconn currently being debated in Wisconsin
<https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/08/wisconsin-lawmakers-vote-to-pay-foxconn-3-billion-to-get-new-factory/>.
That deal, which has not yet been approved by the legislature, promises
Foxconn as much as $2.85 billion in cash payments from Wisconsin taxpayers
in return for building a liquid-crystal display plant.

Iowa isn't paying Apple $200M to locate there. The state is missing out on
a chunk of taxes that they'd get without those subsidies, but I'd guess the
taxes they WILL get are more than 2,000 acres of farm land would generate.
