New Jersey Offers Goya $80 Million to Create Nine New Jobs (http://www.njpp.org/blog/new-jersey-offers-goya-80-million-to-create-nine-new-jobs)
QuoteThe state's tax subsidy for these nine new workers is being offered under the newly revised Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit (UTHTC) statute. It is intended to provide an incentive to a firm by lowering its state corporate business tax obligation so that a company will make capital investments in buildings in urban areas near transit and create jobs.
It just isn't a very efficient way to do so.
