I'll push back gently because I've seen the other side of it. A data center broke ground outside my sister's town — dead town, honestly, since the mill closed — and for two years her catering fed the construction crews and the diner reopened. It's not nothing. Temporary is still rent paid, still a kid's braces. "No benefit" is as much a slogan as "obvious benefit."

But that's exactly the trade the resolution wants examined out loud: two years of construction catering, then thirty permanent jobs for a building that draws on the aquifer for thirty years. The diner is real. So is the ratio. Nobody's saying zero benefit — they're saying weigh it before you sign away the water, not after.
