The state just released details of its unsuccessful bid to land Amazon’s second headquarters that were previously shielded by state law from being disclosed to the public. #gapol
The state’s incentive package would have topped $2B for the project, including a $100M state investment in the site the company chose. #gapol 
The biggest incentive would come from a boosted “mega project tax credit” that would have been valued at $1.3B+ for HQ2. #gapol
It also included a section called “Amazon Love” with this intro: “Like the rest of the world, Atlantans have been inspired by Amazon’s obsession with customers and its commitment to Day One...” #gapol
Some of the other perks offered: an exclusive Amazon lounge at Hartsfield-Jackson, street-renaming (Alexa Way was suggested) and an “Amazon-dedicated car” on MARTA #gapol
The Amazon delegation’s rocky visit to Atlanta - we reported at the time they were peeved about controversial adoption legislation - included a visit to Beltline, the Goat Farm and Ponce City Market. #gapol
All these details were kept secret, as @FitzTrubey & I reported in February, because of changes to the state sunshine law that allowed officials to shield these taxpayer-funded incentives from the public. #gapol myajc.com/news/local/sec…
