Intel announced they are building 2 chip factories worth over $20bil in Ohio, providing over 3k jobs.

Did Larry even try to get these built in Maryland? Imagine how it would have helped us

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said the company expects the site to become “the largest silicon manufacturing location on the planet,” adding that it could eventually expand to 2,000 acres with eight fabs. After helping to establish Silicon Valley, Gelsinger said the new site could become “the Silicon Heartland.” Intel plans to invest up to $100 billion in the site over the next decade

If they built in Maryland it would have cost them another $20b in permits, environmental fees and delays. And then not be completed until 2072.

The last billion $ + development we got was a casino, just think about that….well I guess his 9.6 billion boondoggle of the purple line should be included too, but that just keeps getting pushed out further and further into the future. By the time it’s done the few who have to go into the office will have autonomous cars, you really think they are going to get on a slow train with 21 stops? Heck metro still hasn’t recovered to anywhere close to its previous number of riders.

Why would any company like that ever locate a new facility in MD? To do so would be downright fiscally irresponsible.

If Maryland was as Business Friendly as Texas, they might have.

Yep, factorys tend to build where there already are factory towns. They tend to have local labor already associated with working in factorys.

...and lower costs of living is a big factor too. Can't attract employees without paying them enough to live comfortably and to do that in MD costs FAR more than it does in TN, NC etc.

And an infrastructure to support it. Major roads, rail, power plants...

I believe you would be surprised at the plants/factories that dont use rail and are on non multilane roads.
Its hard to provide on demand products to assembly plants using rail, most dated food products also ship with trucks.
Rail works with lots of things, but local trucking companies do an amazing business with local state to state daily 'milk' runs.

Besides, for the Class I's operating under PSR, switching local industries is a money looser. Rail served customers are hauling the Class I's in front of the Surface Transportation Board constantly because of their sh!tty customer service.
