I think if Amazon had grasped it’s growth and impact....they would have selected some place thirty miles outside of Kansas City or Nashville to begin with.
I think part of this search for the second facility....will end up being an attempt to grow the facility, and take 50-percent of the Seattle ‘core’ out. It wouldn’t surprise me if in ten years...Amazon-Seattle is about 10-percent of it’s current size, and some third Amazon facility is built on the east coast.
Amazon has ruled out flyover for HQ2. Considering Amazon is still considering bids from Maryland, DC AND Northern Virgnia, they have not figured out their stupid mistake yet. Perhaps they will choose Columbus although that is certainly not real flyover. They still have Newark on their list but I doubt they are that stupid.
