I still don't understand why it's being done in Arizona. Sure, it's still economically worthwhile for the state government - but then it would also be viable in a state with better water resources, which would have a lower cost of water infrastructure, and so would be able to offer better tax incentives. What am I missing?

The Phoenix area has a long history of having semiconductor fabs starting with Motorola and Intel decades ago, so there is an established supplier base and workforce.
Makes sense, though that wasn't well explained in the article.
He also cited the seismic stability.
