AL real estate will probably hit a nasty level then some enterprising folks (maybe LeFarvre) will start buying it up, turn AL into a bedroom community.

Looks like AL couldn't have afforded HyVee

On the bright side maybe AL could be absorbed as a suburb.

We offered them 10' s of millions and it didn't work? Did we explain we had a full time fire department, new school, and courthouse?

Albert Lea's leadership is replete with useless idiots. Austin's leadership is replete with slightly less useless idiots. That was enough to make a difference, I guess.
Austin's last two attempts at bitchfest discussion forums died off when Facebook came to town. Albert Lea's rolls on. People notice that sort of thing.
The Tribune publishes every conviction from jaywalking to speeding. Plus you have frequent visits to the Wayne and Paul Wingnut Show. The Herald reserves column inches for mostly upbeat pro-Austin/Hormel/Mayo junk, with a smattering of felon-in-possession-of-a-firearm-related stories. Kind of odd, the very different editorial styles of two newspapers that are owned by the same outfit. Nevertheless, people notice that, too.
In short, lousy leadership, and a bad image.

There's a lot of factors involved in locating warehousing for perishable goods, shelf-life on fresh meat is short, Hormel's location had more to do with HyVee's decision than any local Government.
The close proximity to the Hormel plant cuts transportation cost and increases shelf-life.
Austin has some say in their Utility costs, SMMPA may have cut a deal that Freeborn/Mower couldn't match. who knows..
It does irk me that we have to give Corporations large gift packages to get them to locate locally.
It's similar to the pro-sports teams that extort new stadiums from the taxpayer.
