The supposed benefits of these projects rarely materialized: Many of the promised tracks were never completed, or the routes were discontinued soon after their construction. Worse yet, the towns often had to impose steep new <a href="https://c.im/tags/taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taxes</a> to offset the <a href="https://c.im/tags/incentives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#incentives</a>, triggering a wave of municipal defaults.The trend of unmet promises by corporate titans has continued into the present day. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tesla</a>’s Buffalo plant has created just 54 cents of economic benefit for every subsidy dollar the state invested, a state audit found; the initial contract has been amended several times, extending completion dates and reducing employment targets. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amazon</a> announced it was pausing construction on the second phase of its Virginia headquarters.
