Apple's New U.S. Chip Factory to Produce AI Servers With High-End M5 Chips

In addition, several nearby local city governments gave foxconn millions in subsidies, betting that the 13,000 promised new jobs would be great for the local economy. The money foxconn received from these subsidies and incentives is about double the amount foxconn actually spent in the initial stages of developing its facility before canceling the project. The local governments of course didn't get any refund from foxconn for reneging on its promises.

Are you sure about this? Most "subsidies" are in the form of property tax abatement, which actually doesn't cost the municipality anything if nothing actually gets built.

One town incurred substantial debt to pay for the infrastructure development around the foxconn plant, and now has little to show for it.
