Yes. Silicon Valley, Orange County, Seattle, Dallas, Vancouver Washington or Canada.

Don’t you have to show you’ve employed Americans citizens or green card holders? Or is just showing some investment good enough?

Either way - pretty sure it easy enough to fudge the employees too.

Why fudge when you can just buy a mcdonalds as an investment and make clean money on top of it? Or real estate and hire the services of a property manager?

Even better when the "impacted area" your visa is fixing is in midtown Manhattan and you solve the blight by building your own luxury pied-a-terre after moving Harlem 80 blocks south.
