I was thinking about this today and realized something about tech/finance/entertainment... hubs. The best way to get one is by having major players in the industry set up shop there. Cities hope the next big tech company will be in their city, but lots of the employees that switch companies to help startups grow come from top companies and it is way easier to get people to switch companies if they don't have to move. Seattle has become a good tech hub due to amazon and microsoft. I think whatever city wins this will have a massive long term tech hub boost because of it. This will probably be many times better for a cities economy than some factory.

Is Amazon looking for a tech hub or a place for administrative functions. Recall Microsoft moving all of their admin stuff to the Midwest somewhere.

"The jobs will likely be broken down into the following categories: executive/management, engineering with a preference for software development engineers (SDE), legal, accounting, and administrative."
