Whether or not being located near Whole Foods is of importance to Amazon is TBD.

I see no need for them to be near Whole Foods, which is a struggling grocer and had been prior to Amazon buying them out.
Anyone know when the decision was supposed to be made? Wasn't it early 2018?

Dude I was adding onto the connections Bezos has to Texas. Whole Foods is just one of them. If anyone could make it successful its Bezos. Surprisingly Houston just got a distribution center, I feel like we should have gotten one long ago. Not that it matters now anyways.
Theres 238 bids, it doesn't necessarily mean the top 10 that ranked on Moody's will get it. Plenty other cities nationwide may offer other unique perks.
