I think Newark set the bar on the financial discounts: $7B [1] so far, but we just changed Governors, so we'll see. I think it meets all the other requirements you mentioned, but I think we got knocked on Infrastructure on some list a month or two ago.

CNBC updated its grades: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/18/how-cities-rate-in-the-race-...

Given the headlines and buzz today, you'd think Amazon at this point would just create an Amazon Original reality show at this point where each week a new city gets voted off.

Maybe they can finish the PATH connection to the airport. 2.4 miles:

You can already get from Newark Penn to the airport using NJ Transit. It isn't a terrible idea to bring the PATH there so there's a single seat ride from places that PATH services but NJ transit doesn't, but that doesn't apply to Newark.
Yes, I wait to transfer and pay again.

The PATH is cheaper, runs more frequently, makes several more stops in Manhattan and NJ, so it would be a better option.

If you want to go downtown, for example, the PATH goes to WTC, as well as midtown.

Plus Audible is in Newark as well
