Samsung Chooses Austin. . . Again.

Last night the Samsung Board of Directors officially approved the construction of a second plant in Austin (we beat out Albany, whoo hoo). The Statesman says that "(l)ocal and state officials think it is the largest-ever investment by a foreign company in a U.S. plant." We can't tell from the article where exactly in town this new plant will be, but Manor I. S. D. is providing property tax incentives (with the City of Austin, Travis County and the Texas Enterprise Fund helping out also).
