Abstract:

Sparta, North Carolina was chosen as the site for an air-conditioner compressor plant that would bring in 750 jobs. Eventually, the company closed its doors, laying off all of its employees. Early on, Sparta had paid the company handsome incentives to put their plant there but never got any of the money back.
