Source of Data: The subsidy value is estimated in Kenneth Thomas, "EU Control of State Aid to Mobile Investment in Comparative Perspective," Journal of European Integration, August 2012, pp. 1-18. The jobs, salary and investment projections are taken from: John Miller, "Idaho continues nuclear legacy with uranium enrichment plant," Lewiston Morning Tribune, May 7, 2008.
Notes: The subsidy package consisted of property tax abatements (via a cap on assessed value) and sales tax exemptions on the purchase of equipment and materials. The project has been on hold since 2011, so none of the subsidies have taken effect. Overlaps with main Subsidy Tracker data: none.
