Third was to identify all other means of transportation available to the site. Given that Amazon is a logistics company first and foremost, this shouldn’t be any surprise.

By the way, it’s location criteria indicated it wanted to be within 30 miles of a population center, not exactly wanting to dictate being IN the center.

Operating costs, incentives, and available labor source were also high priorities.

Also in top 8 was housing costs, cost of living, recreational opportunities, quality of life and community fit.
