Expect special visas for immigrant workers who will be effectively imprisoned there.

And an absolute social desert because no one else will want to be there.

This place is down the road from 2 major cities and several small towns. People already wanna be in this area. Even immigrant workers would have social mobility here, they could change jobs to working on vineyards, working in tech, or apply for nearby schools.
