The Twin Cities (AKA Minneapolis) perhaps doesn't scale well on the "raw growth" charts, but the region has a strong track record for being a very good place for corporate headquarters. By metropolitan area, it ranks first among the 30 largest metropolitan areas in the number of Fortune 500 companies per capita. It's also a major knowledge hub for shipping logistics, which is why Amazon opened an office there related to that work. I'm not really jazzed about the idea of Amazon moving in, but don't discount the Twin Cities here, it's a very strong contender.
