I can think of a few:(1) Instead of an overburdened transportation network, they have one with plenty of room to grow. (2) Lower taxes. (3) Lower housing (and living) costs for employees. (4) Less traffic. (5) Centrally located in the NEC to bring in talent from both ends of the NY-WAS corridor - they could have kept it as one HQ. I would have much preferred to see it in Philly, though I think they offered a spot near Pattison (or whatever it's called now) instead of somewhere near Regional Rail like over by 30st. Maybe they wanted a split HQ2 all along, and Philly was just too close to Arlington (let's be realistic the DC area was almost a sure thing). |
