Amazon made news recently when they announced that they would be building a second headquarters (HQ2) in North America. Amazon has been searching for months to find the perfect location for their new headquarters and have narrowed it down to 20 different cities from across the continent, which includes Boston, New York City, Austin, Toronto and more.
This is an exciting opportunity for whichever city Amazon decides to build HQ2 in as it will bring up to 50,000 new jobs and billions of dollars in investments. In fact, Amazon has already said that it plans to invest over $5 billion in construction and development of the new headquarters location.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has been leading the search for HQ2 and has been meeting with leaders from all of the potential locations in order to make his decision. He has also held town hall meetings with residents of each city in order to hear their opinions on why they feel their city should be chosen.
The Benefits Of Choosing A Certain City:
Each city that Amazon is considering offers its own unique advantages such as access to talent, transportation networks and tax incentives. Amazon is looking for a location that can provide them with an educated workforce, a strong economy and quality living conditions for their employees.
They also want a city that can provide access to international airports as well as other forms of transportation such as highways or public transit. Lastly, tax incentives are always important when choosing any kind of business venture.
The Decision Making Process:
Amazon’s decision making process will involve careful consideration of all factors such as cost, logistics and local economic impact. The company is expected to make its final decision sometime this year after careful deliberation and analysis of all the available options.
Conclusion:
Ultimately, it will be up to Jeff Bezos and his team at Amazon to decide which city will become home to HQ2. Whatever decision they make will have a huge impact on the chosen city’s economy and workforce so there is a lot riding on this choice.
Who Is Building Amazon HQ2?:
The answer is still unclear but one thing we do know is that Jeff Bezos and his team at Amazon are carefully considering each option before making the final decision.
