I'm genuinely curious about this - my best guess is there may be some measurement on the manager's employee retention numbers or similar that would make the manager look bad to have an employee quit.
As others have mentioned there is a large Intel fab (and other smaller fabs) in the area. I suspect this gives them insights into the feasibility of success there and also means there is an existing talent pool to draw from. It basically de-risks the investment. There are probably only a handful of likely places to do this - OR, CA, AZ, TX, maybe NY. Intel building in OH is more difficult from a bootstraping perspective.
