Stathopoulos said that if Amazon elects to choose Georgia as its home, then the company would likely receive perks between $1 billion to $2 billion, not including grants. “Effectively, the company would not be paying taxes for many, many years in Georgia,” said Stathopoulos, whom the article described as having “negotiated incentive packages for major companies.”
