Detroit offered many deal-sweeteners in its bid for Amazon's second headquarters, which is expected to bring 50,000 new jobs and more than $5 billion in new investment to whichever city and region is picked. Here are a few of the things that Amazon would get if it chooses Detroit/Windsor, according to newly obtained bid documents.

"One campus in two countries on a busy international border."

A new Detroit River ferry between the cities.

A big tax break package. The total value of the tax breaks and subsidies was blacked out in the version of the documents given to media organizations, but the offer includes breaks on personal income taxes, property taxes, corporate income taxes and a utility users tax. For just Windsor, the incentives total $106 million in U.S. dollars.

Cheaper rent. Class A office space in downtown Detroit goes for $22 per square foot. That’s half the rate of other major cities.

Cheaper labor. Software developers make an average salary of $88,000 in Detroit, lower than the $113,000 average in the top 15 metropolitan areas.

DTE Energy and EnWin in Windsor could supply Amazon with "100% wind power." (No word on what happens on non-windy days).

A trained tech workforce, bolstered by the state's commitment to make a new $120-million investment in training — if Amazon comes.

First dibs on the 200-plus-acre site containing Southfield's shuttered Northland Center mall.

A potential partnership with Dan Gilbert's Quicken Loans "to put Echo/Alexa into the homes of millions of Quicken Loans Mortgage clients."

More public transportation, including a new commuter bus linking downtown Detroit with Ann Arbor.
