Boston Others Make Bid for New Amazon Headquarters
Nineteen metro areas in the United States, as well as Toronto, Canada, made the Seattle company's finalists list for its HQ2, Amazon officials announced Thursday.
Elena Flory, an actor and barista who was born and raised in Seattle, said she's seen how the company has affected the local economy, for better and worse, and is hopeful that a second headquarters in another region will reduce some of the city's stress. Nearly all of these places offered generous incentive packages in an attempt to land the coveted headquarters, enticed by the promises that included $5 billion in investment and the creation of 50,000 jobs.
INDIANAPOLIS - A top state official says IN will be judicious IN what it offers IN support of the bid from Indianapolis for Amazon's second headquarters. Before leaving office Tuesday, Gov. Chris Christie approved a measure to allow New Jersey to offer up to $5 billion to Amazon.
The new legislation would also make Amazon eligible for $10,000 in tax breaks each year for every full-time job created.
The Huntington Beach-Long Beach plan, announced in October, was dubbed "Amazon Coast" by "HBLB."
"I would imagine that for this type of initiative, wherever the conversation goes depending on what Amazon has in mind, it's going to vary, and I think until we hear from them about what they're interested in, that's an impossible question to answer", he said. "It's the energy, the creativity, the collaboration, and all of that is going to come into play on a project like this". Brooklyn sounds like a cliche, and so does Denver. The organization was created in 2016 to help businesses start, grow, and relocate in Montgomery County, Maryland, by helping them gain access to top talent, business and market intelligence and prime locations. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is on several indexes for best airport in the U.S. But, the Austin Chamber of Commerce said it is focused on the city's labor force. "I bought one for myself and one for all the art students in Kansas City, which ranks third-most in participation per capita in the country".
