They have recent federal contracts


The only thing missing here is a small regional airport that can be expanded as a logistics hub. Chantilly seems to be the local warehouse distribution center for goods flow in to Richmond and Harrisburg.

Amazon won the cloud management for intelligence agencies. They're up for an e-commerce contract that covers all federal government agency purchases.

Amazon Web Services office is in Herndon as they are in a number of the cities on the list. Eastern Loudoun is home to several hundred acres of data centers. It used to be touted that most of the domestic internet traffic flowed through the county.

If the headquarters is mostly sales and administrative, it would make more sense to be downtown.
