[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least Arlington hasn't yet had to pay Amazon any money (because hotel and office occupancy haven't hit the marks that would have qualified them for payments) -- but still, a real bait and switch after such a drawn out contest for the location.[/quote] To be fair, I don't think Amazon baited and switched anything. Who could have predicted the pandemic, which has drastically cut every company's need for corporate office space.[/quote] Still, they said they'd build the office space, and now they're either not going to or they're going to do it later. Doesn't really matter why; it's a good object lesson in why cities/counties/states should not give subsidies to Amazon.[/quote] The subsidies are paid based on employees in the office and hotel bookings. They haven't been paid because they arent hitting metrics [/quote]
