kps: What is RTP? Raleigh Technology Park?
We don't have the air or rail connections that would be needed.
I have my doubts that an office for 50,000 is truly needed. The current HQ only has about 40,000(?) and 350,000(?) worldwide employees and they want to add 50,000 essentially upper level positions. That's a lot of management types to add unless you are adding a proportionate number of lower level positions elsewhere.
This is a ploy to make the opportunity look better than it is to maximize the government handouts. Frequently these corporate promises of jobs are over-promised and under-delivered. It is probably closer 10% of that estimate (5,000).

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
