There's something called a clawback, where the corporation has to refund part of the tax and asset incentives if it doesn't stay for a certain amount of time. They instituted them around here after getting burned by Philips Semiconductor. And yes, there are of course other corporations that are not good neighbors -- Walmart is just a particualrly egregious example, and offers such bad employment anyway that you ave to wonder why governments bother.
