Honestly I think Amazon is as or more interested in the cities' overall plans than just tax incentives being offered. There's a lot of logistics to build a campus as large as they're planning with as many employees as they're planning. I think they're also very interested in zoning and regulatory hurdles. They're probably looking for a city that won't bog the project down in zoning permits, etc. Kinda like how Google Fiber was killed by regulation rather than capital or technical concerns.
The tax incentives play into the overall cost to Amazon for their location, but so does the rest of the plan.
