Taxpayer investment in private firms needs to come with dividends for taxpayers.
Yeah it’s wild that the US government will fund private projects without getting the same bonds or shares that private investors would expect.
Growth in an industry drives tax growth, job growth, and wage growth. Furthermore initiatives like this one insulate the country from strategic holes. The US goverment and tax payers most certainly get dividends on investment.

You are talking about a clean room chip fab here. They employ highly skilled labor that is paid quite well.

Chip fabs do not just 'pack up and move'. They are horrendously expensive to build and run for decades. The whole place is a clean room for an idea of how difficult these things are to build. Here is a video of a tour of one of Intel's chip fabs.
They'll make a new entity that extracts most of the profit while the production facility operates at cost or even a loss. Jurisdiction shopping is a thing even within the US.
