I also remember in September reading about the sit down at Tulane with Michael Hecht and DXC technology’s New Orleans center General Manger, and the article spoke on New Orleans being spoke about in these meetings between these large companies. So are we aggressively pursuing Apple and Google and if so do we have any local developers who are planing office space developments to house these types of major companies
Here is the article I’m referencing from:

I thought amazons hq2 search was a fraud from the beginning. Its ridiculous a company that makes billions and billions off of skirting taxes is getting the subsisdies that it is to locate anywhere. It was always going to end up in dc and nyc ... the owner owns the washington post ... sorry but im not a fan of this type of corporate welfare... that said i really approve of the state and city going after these other tech companies. Much less expensive and ultimately a similar number of jobs
