As far as Amazon’s DC metro area location I don’t see why amazon wouldn’t have considered locating in the DC or MD parts of the region if the incentives and pitch were right. Making the three jurisdictions bid against each other seems like a reasonable strategy even if there was a secret plan to end up somewhere in the region in the end.

- rolltiide 7y agoBecause thats where they wanted to be. Its not that confusing. Amazon was playing Tag the Sponsor to reveal all the municipal whores for fun.
- javagram 7y agoThe incentives that MD or DC offered probably weren’t enough to make up for the deficiencies of the areas. I’m not sure about DC but it seems like businesses are frequently choosing to locate in NoVA rather than MD. https://www.bisnow.com/washington-dc/news/neighborhood/cameron-pratt-on-why-montgomery-county-has-fallen-behind-northern-virginia-99668?utm_source=CopyShare&utm_medium=Browser#ath https://www.bisnow.com/washington-dc/news/neighborhood/camer...
