This is in general a good thing if all companies can negotiate such deals. This leads to different administrative areas competing for different kid of projects and also lower the tax rate. All this results into more efficient government.

Note that 15M means very little for Google any ways.But those jobs can have massive impact on the local economy creating millions more for the locals and as well as state.

That is only true if it also works for smaller companies.

Small corporations can't negotiate such deals, which will make them unable to efficiently compete against these larger companies.

Small corporations can't negotiate such deals because the value they could add is also significantly less, on other hand smaller corporations have the benefit of skirting most regulations that large corporations simply can not.
