Down heah in Mississippi, its done a bit different. Several thousand acres of raw land was being quietly purchased by family members of certain high ranking politicians at huge discounts (say 500-750/acre). Lo and behold, a Nissan Plant was considering relocating here. The politico's went to work offering incentives to woo them here. Nissan decided to come here and wouldn't ya know....that land went to them for an average of $20K per acre.
