One small point, Amazon know exactly where they want to go, the RFP has no bearing on their decision what so ever and the criteria within it are about as meaningful as buying a lotto ticket is to a pension plan.
The RFP acts as a huge political tool for the company across the US right now, I have no doubt the major Republican politicians are being told 'well we would look at Wisconsin Mr Ryan' or 'Kentucky is high on our list of possibilities Senator McConnell' 'except for this immigration issue we are having with the Presidents future plans'
The company will stretch this 'decision' out for the full 3 years left of the Trump Presidency'.
On top of that the massive level of grants, tax breaks and general butt licking every jurisdiction in N America will bend over backwards to offer up will make the actual location they have already chosen much cheaper and easier to get the massive planning and infrastructure improvements they will demand
