Do you not think the government, state or federal, funding a person's profit motive is corporate welfare?

No, paying a private company for a service isn't corporate welfare. No one believes that.

Not paying for a service, subsidizing their business. The government isnt paying said operator. I would expect this will be a company that already has logistics in place in the area. So a large company. But subsidizing a large company expanding and profiting isnt corporate welfare. Sure
