From the article: "Proposals to Amazon are not due until Oct. 19."

I'm sure this is just a PR push to announce that KC is submitting it's bid. Would be happily proved wrong, though.

This.

KC has been getting hit with criticism from doing these deal behind closed doors. Probably trying to show some transparency and reveal their strategy in trying to get Amazon here.

Amazon just opened two fulfillment centers in Lenexa. The one I work at part time was rated the #1 fulfillment center of it's type in the country.

They're coming here. This is going to be great for the local economy.

Airport doesn't have enough direct flights to the requisite places, no public transport, not enough desirable housing and there cities with cheaper commercial real estate.

Then why would KC even bother submitting a bid? Sounds like they are out of the running before the starting whistle.

You forgot a big one. Talent pool. They'll want a place they can pick off a ton of young talent cheap. I'd bet it will be Midwest for the logistical advantages and cost of living. If I had to guess, Austin seems like a difficult one to beat. It has transportation, affordable cost of living, booming tech climate, and a massive university to bring in cheap young talent.

Austin would be a nightmare if they want to surround their HQ with distribution sites. Literally has 2 of the 10 worst stretches of highway in the U.S.

Is there really any particular reason they need distribution sites close to the HQ?

Austin isn't the cheapest place but neither is it super expensive for cities that can check all the other boxes.

Although is the Austin airport really any more connected than KCI? From a quick search, it looks like they each serve around the same number of passengers/year.
