Giving tax breaks to companies is a standard practice to attract businesses - every single state does this.
There are certainly better “deals” than others.
But again - stomping feet and doing nothing to maintain perfect ideals is leaving Rhode Island behind.
It goes with this project too. We need housing!!! But actually it’s too tall and I don’t love the design and it will block me from taking pictures of the Superman Building. So I’ll complain anywhere I can to try to sabotage the project.
It’s just not a helpful mentality. Same with the example I mentioned above - people were against bringing a sub-10 story building company HQ to an undeveloped plot of land….cause of traffic concerns.
There’s a loud subset of population here that is literally against any development that’s not exactly what THEY want.
