As mentioned earlier in September, Amazon is planning to build a second headquarters. After four months, Amazon narrowed the 238 bids into 20 finalists: Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Indianapolis, Miami, Montgomery County, Nashville, Newark, New York City, Northern Virginia, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Toronto, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and Toronto. Amazon’s HQ would provide 50,000 new high-paying jobs.

“We’ve got rockets and rock stars, more engineers and more sunshine. The Olympics, two NFL teams, and George Lucas all know L.A. is the future — so should Amazon. And we love that Jeff Bezos already has a home here,” LA Mayor Eric Garcetti said after being included in the 20 finalists.
