I think Newark set the bar on the financial discounts: $7B [1] so far, but we just changed Governors, so we'll see. I think it meets all the other requirements you mentioned, but I think we got knocked on Infrastructure on some list a month or two ago.

- melling 9y agoMaybe they can finish the PATH connection to the airport. 2.4 miles: http://www.nj.com/essex/index.ssf/2017/12/a_timeline_charting_the_path_extension_to_newark_a.html http://www.nj.com/essex/index.ssf/2017/12/a_timeline_chartin...
- bradleyjg 9y agoYou can already get from Newark Penn to the airport using NJ Transit. It isn't a terrible idea to bring the PATH there so there's a single seat ride from places that PATH services but NJ transit doesn't, but that doesn't apply to Newark.
- melling 9y agoYes, I wait to transfer and pay again. The PATH is cheaper, runs more frequently, makes several more stops in Manhattan and NJ, so it would be a better option. If you want to go downtown, for example, the PATH goes to WTC, as well as midtown.

Given the headlines and buzz today, you'd think Amazon at this point would just create an Amazon Original reality show at this point where each week a new city gets voted off.
