• Williamson County and Franklin offered nearly $2 million in incentives while the state stepped in with $2.75 million.

• "No one is more excited than the Beacon team about the addition of In-N-Out restaurants and corporate headquarters to the Middle Tennessee area, but we have a real problem with the government subsidizing the insanely profitable California chain," the report reads.
