3. That is 1730 green cards.

I have a bit of trouble believing 1730 people will pay half a million each just to get a chance at a green card.
Taken at face value, 10,000 jobs will produce a lot of tax revenue, so will sales taxes, and maybe the guy has already worked with the town on this - if they have a planning commission, a county planning commission, or whatever.
Things would be a mess for a while, like those towns in Nebraska (I think) where people are flocking for jobs.
Be interesting to keep tabs on this, and hope that the town isn't on the hook for anything that will make it lose money.
