The company, based in Seattle, selected the finalists out of a pile of more than 238 applications submitted by local officials in Mexico, Canada and the United States — all of them eager to attract the 50,000 high-paying jobs the company says it could bring. When the unusual public contest was announced in September, it set off a public charm offensive by the applicants, with many local officials trying to entice Amazon with tax breaks and other benefits.

how did montgomery county make the list?
One thing that a lot of these cities have in common is a large population of 'immigrants'.
Columbus (the surprise city) has 48,000 somalis.
If the experience with amazon hubs in the UK reveals anything, it is that they will fill these places with low-wage labor and work them to death.
Monkey County - big money!!! Road/interstate access to north/south/west of the country; Road access (ICC to I95) to BWI?
Unless the $$$ is too much to pass up, prob won't happen!
This is a Headquarters not a fulfillment/packing warehouse. The average salary is $100,000. Doubtful that they will be hiring a large number of Somalis or other immigrants unless they are from India with advanced degrees.
