[quote=Anonymous]Interesting article from the Washington Post. I can see this happening, especially with the ridiculous rent increases in the area surrounding Crystal City.

"Prince George’s didn’t make Amazon’s list. But the county could still be a winner."

Prince George’s officials felt snubbed when their county was the lone jurisdiction in the Washington region not picked as a finalist for Amazon’s second headquarters. Now, though, they say Prince George’s could be the “lucky loser” of the retailing giant’s move to Crystal City.

The abundance of Metro stations and low housing prices in the county, which is home to the state’s flagship university, could attract new employees and businesses that Amazon will bring. But experts say that to best capitalize on opportunities presented by Amazon’s second headquarters, Prince George’s must make a concerted effort that includes marketing, improving its schools and boosting workforce development.
