Camden is making strides too and I could see a large corporate headquarters like Amazon there in the future. You could take advantage of the Philadelphia-area workforce with presumably lower costs of doing business.
Camden is the worst city in the US. I grew up around there and say this with no hesitation. Being across filthadelphia has never helped the city.
Everybody's Southern bias is showing as if the entire world is the Atlanta - Charlotte - Raleigh corridor. It makes sense since this is a Charlotte forum, but Boston, Chicago, Miami, Toronto, Denver, Austin, Philadelphia, etc... are all just as legitimate contenders in this. Of course on the Charlotte forum though everything gets broken down to Atlanta vs. Charlotte, Raleigh vs. Charlotte, Raleigh vs. Atlanta, etc...
Yes, I'm aware of that but you posted something specific to ATL and Charlotte, so randomly throwing in Dallas makes no sense.
I'm not "everybody", and again, you are the one who posted an Atlanta versus Charlotte comment. A nonsensical one at that.

Subaru headquarters was lured there, to the waterfront, by Trenton, from Cherry Hill. The state has dumped millions there over the decades. It's a bottomless pit. It's been one step forward, two steps back for decades. The state paid Lockheed to put some offices in Camden. My nephew's work group drew the short straw. Fortunately, they only have to go there part of the time.
Lol, "nice". I don't even know what that means, but its irrelevant. An airport is a tool in this situation, and Atlanta has a better one than Charlotte.
You don't think Atlanta has commuter trains?! What? Are you aware of the MARTA system?
Dallas? What does Dallas have to do with anything?
Atlanta also has a much larger metro population, so fewer employees would have to enticed to move.
CLT is building a new terminal. Charlotte has a lightrail and plans for more trains.
No I never heard of Atlanta trains but as you mention them I recall seeing one cross over 85 or 74.
ATL is a very inconvenient airport, also less centrally located from downtown than Charlotte's.

Knyight that said the Atlanta vs. Charlotte comment and I'm not referring to you as Everybody. I literally mean most of the conversation as you go back the last couple keeps coming back to Atlanta and Raleigh.

ATL has a direct connection to MARTA.
You're entirely too biased to see this objectively. I guess you know more about what Amazon's needs are than Amazon itself, which has excluded Charlotte from consideration but is still considering Atlanta.

Never? You know Camden was once a thriving city and hasn't always been in the shape it's in, right?
