Odds are in favor of Virginia (look up AWS and other data centers in that area). But it is still interesting to see how these cities are competing with each other and are throwing out tax payers money to lure in Amazon to moving in their backyard. I wonder if they would give similar incentives to small and upcoming businesses and startups.
I'm not sure the data centers have an effect there. They don't have need for their non-datacenter employees traveling to visit the DCs (those are hyper locked down)
