Dallas at 20/1 and SLC at 33/1 are better bets.

Really, Dallas is free money.

Where's Birmingham?

Don't see why anyone would put something like that in Atlanta. The traffic alone is enough to make it not worth your while.

It's weird because Memphis is actually mentioned as one of the front-runners but it is not on this list. (I do not think it will be Memphis.)

I read that Chicago was offering 2 billion in incentives.

Wonder who else was offering more.

Same with Austin. If it comes to Texas it will be DFW

How did Chalmette, Arabi, and Donaldsonville get left off the list?

My top 4 (expected, not in merit) would be Atlanta, DFW, DC/Maryland and Boston.

I'm surprised DFW is so low, but I'm guessing they seem committed to being on the east coast.

I believe they submitted a joint proposal and I envision that they will sweeten the deal with enough economic incentives that every man, woman, and child for the next three generations will be paying $100k a year in extra taxes to pay for this HQ.

Bigger airport, too.

They'd be crazy to build that thing somewhere like Massachusetts or New Jersey with all their BS rules and regulations and pro-Union state government. Just being in those states would probably add +/- 20% to costs.

I'd love to see that here. However, Roy Moore being elected will probably kill any hopes of that.
