“It’s not the fact that we pay people less. It costs less to live here. It’s a better quality of life. There’s more economic attractiveness,” he said.
Company officials said they are still deciding on a final site for their Valley operations.
The state gave Voya a $9.5 million tax credit for coming here and a $1 million grant.
