[quote=FlyerInHi]Amazon is not building a distribution center. They already have many.
They need to find an area where executives and professionals would like to live.

True, but having production and/or distribution within an hour or two of the headquarters has many advantages…keeps executives and professionals grounded as they can visit the other arms of their company on a routine basis.
Many examples of this in the corporate world: GM, Ford, 3M, Brunswick, Tesla, Delta, American, Southwest, FedEx, on and on.
