There's a lot of GOP infighting over it. Hard line TP conservatives don't want to fork over the cash while more moderate Pubs (including McCrory) are pleading with them to get this done so NC can at least compete for new business. Thus far it's been a long stalemate while the legislature has been focusing on red meat social conservative issues to keep the base riled up. Even McCrory has called them out on this.
ETA: to put it more succinctly, those tax cuts they like to crow about are making it hard to get this done.
I can tell you that Volvo wanted to build these plants in NC starting as early as 2007. They've waited for NC to offer them anything and finally got tired of waiting. They really weren't asking for that much either.
