Amazon Narrows List of Finalists for Second HQ

​Today Amazon released its “short list” of potential new homes for its planned $5 billion second headquarters, called HQ2. Last year, 238 cities submitted bids to welcome HQ2, the potential 50,000 high-paying jobs that accompany it, to their city.

Unfortunately, it appears that our beloved Omaha won’t be the second home of Amazon. However, our own “second headquarters” city of Chicago is still in the running, as is Denver which is home to one of our partner CFO Systems offices. Other cities on the list include Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Columbus (Ohio), Dallas, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Miami, Montgomery County (Maryland), Nashville, Newark, New York City, Northern Virginia, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Toronto, and Washington DC.

Amazon is expected to make a final decision in 2018.
