It is probably safe to say it is much worse to have won the Amazon HQ2 bidding war only to lose it, than to have never won at all!

Data center's fate should have been settled long ago

Maybe it's a small dose of payback for offering hope to every minor berg and hamlet from one coast to the other that they might land Amazon HQ2. Then they found out you put the investment not far from where you have houses already. Pima County sent you a full-grown live saguaro hoping to woo you here.

I'm sure the non-disclosure agreements didn't help keep people in the loop. Well, that's what you get if an economic development project is kept so hush-hush the decision makers don't know the details until too late in the game.
