Impact analysis
If the city put tax breaks or infrastructure money on the table, the cost could land on taxpayers unless the Amazon deal generates enough new revenue to offset it.
Amazon would get a sweeter deal, and local officials hope residents and businesses benefit from jobs, construction, and new tax base.
Taxpayers and residents could be on the hook if the incentives give away more revenue than the development returns, or if public services get squeezed.
