The inflation reduction act was in 2022, everything but amazon was built and operational prior but I get what you mean. I should have phrased it better.

Yes the federal govt likely had some role in getting favorable conditons for factories to be built. For people living there the following years and years of company cash flow caused a lot of the actual second and third order effects, not federal programs aimed at the region specifically. That is what I mean by “the fed govt had little to do with it (from the residents’ pov)”
