Quote of the Day
“Our job is to get Amazon excited about Massachusetts, and one of the exciting things about Massachusetts is the diversity of assets we have here,” Ash said. “The diversity includes sites. It includes talent. It includes ecosystems. And so it would be presumptuous of us to assume that we could predict what Jeff Bezos and his team at Amazon wants in a particular site.”
Speaking about Massachusetts being the location of Amazon's second headquarters.
