Now the waiting begins.
Delaware County yesterday threw its hat into the Amazon Derby, hoping to lure the online world biggest retailer to the Chester waterfront.
They have lots of company.
Philadelphia also is hoping to convince the Seattle firm to bring its much-ballyhooed HQ2 to Philly.
The Delco pitch involves the land surrounding Talen Energy Field in the shadow of the Commodore Barry Bridge on the Delaware River.
They also are making the old Community Hospital site available.
And if that's not enough, they have a backup plan, the much talked-about former Franklin Mint site out on Baltimore Pike in Middletown.
There is a lot at stake, a multi-billion dollar economic boom and as many as 50,000 new jobs.
There's plenty of time to debate where Amazon will wind up. The company is not expected to announce its decision until sometime in 2018.
