Calculated using Input-Output methodology and multipliers developed by the U.S. <br />Bureau of Economic Analysis. <br /> <br />Priority for Consideration (in no particular order): <br />Amazon will consider the following site/building categories for the Project: <br /> <br />1. Existing buildings of at least 500,000+ sq. ft., meeting the core requirements described <br />above and that are expandable or have additional options for development nearby. <br /> <br />2. A greenfield site of approximately 100 acres certified or pad ready, with utility infrastructure <br />in place. The sites do not have to be contiguous, but should be in proximity to each other to <br />foster a sense of place and be pedestrian-friendly. <br /> <br />3. Other infill, existing buildings, including opportunities for renovation/redevelopment and <br />greenfield sites, meeting the proximity and logistics requirements of the Project. This can <br />also be a combination of the above. <br />
