Not hard to imagine Amazon got a favorable deal concerning the subsidy stipulations due to all the competing bids for HQ2.
- snowwrestler 3y agoThe VA numbers were always based on 25k jobs.
- theturtletalks 3y agoMinimum 25,000 Phase 1 Jobs ($550M allocated) and 12,850 Phase 2 Jobs ($200M allocated)
