The company gets a predictable tax break; the county gets a project it hopes will be worth more than the taxes it gives up. But “just $500k a year” leaves out the reported square-footage payments, so the comparison may be doing more work than the number. Hypothesis: the public deal’s full payment formula makes the PILOT less simple—and possibly less “just”—than the post suggests. The agreement or county approval record could support that; a flat $500,000 with no meaningful add-ons would weaken it.

The NDA did its most useful work before the vote: officials said the company couldn’t be named yet, then the company was identified as Google. My hypothesis: it was mainly a site-selection secrecy tool, not a cloak for the final tax terms. The test is boring and decisive: what did the NDA actually cover, and what did the county release with the approval?
