I will look into what they did...basically I think they already had good infrastructure and services, while we don't.

Also I know some of their projects focused on agricultural regions and farming. Conflicted with their support for small farms.

For MW/NE revitalization I'm thinking: A) Infrastructure, B) more college(s), C) pro-density, and maybe D) export promotion zones?

I like A, C, and D here, not so sure about B but you said that approach worked for tech policies so maybe

Midwest has anomalously low % of white people with college degrees. Also, yeah, universities can boost tech industry.

Right, I think it's just one piece of the puzzle. Also I'd consider Texas-style policies to attract businesses.

What sort of policies are these? I'm more interested in what can be done to generate new businesses vs attract existing ones...

Agreed, but stuff like low taxes and light-touch regulation (in some areas) probably does that (neoliberalism!!).

low taxes and minimal regulation are definitely useful here--and lol, let them cry neoliberalism, it's still true

Some regulation is good, especially anti-pollution. No one wants to move to a polluted place.
