Poster didn't say that WAS how RTP grew. Anyway, RTP got started 60+ years ago...things change. What worked then might not work now.
Very few true innovation centers in this country Silicon Valley, L.A.(entertainment not tech), New York, and Boston .... This area isn't going to outdo those spots. all the other hotspots like Austin or Nashville are following the path RTP did by bringing in existing companies for the most part
I'm kind of tired of the HQ2 dog and pony show at this point. Amazon needs to make up their mind. I've stopped caring.
I know what you mean. They claim they will make a decision by the end of the year. I guess that's why their visit to Chicago was so interesting - evidently, it's the ONLY area they have visited twice.

Do you mean this?
Apple Campus in RTP area?
Oh I'm well aware of the thread. Just no updates ... does that mean its dead? I think Northern VA/DC is looking like a top contender for both Amazon and Apple.

Supposed they also did a Miami revisit as well back in September. Although, one would have to wonder if they did that south Florida revisit just to get some warmth and sun!
Amazon reportedly couldn't get enough of the Miami sun.
Representatives for the company affiliated with the search for a place to put the company's second headquarters, HQ2, made a recent return visit, according to a report by the South Florida Business Journal citing three sources.
"Amazon Representatives Seen Visiting the Moon. Lunar site not out the question, according to sources. Site land availability, great views."
