You're right, many other cities got that big ole nothing...
Think about all the cities that completed applications for HQ2. Atlanta has offered over $1 billion in incentives (other cities more): http://www.businessinsider.com/amazo...ntives-2017-10
Oklahoma City didn't make the cut; however not so sure we wanted that facility or to impress upon Amazon to consider OKC for other subsidies. We did get some crumbs (warehouse); our location (I-35/I-40 crossroad) & airport played a major role in that.
50,000 jobs? What else will accompany those jobs to the winner who gets this Albatross around its neck.
Did the application fee justify the Amazon Fulfillment facility which may lead to more to come?
