I really do not like tax incentives going to specific businesses. Why not just lower tax rates for everyone instead?

Because that would be "equal protection under the law." during a double-standard liberal administration.

Which will be the end result of increased tax revenues due to a successful business climate.

The incentives offset the capital expenses of the move. After allowing recovery for those (usually over about 10 years), the company pays taxes at the usual local rates (which are still lower than up north), for a win-win situation.
