When you heard that Miami had made a list of the 20 finalists to be the home of Amazon’s second headquarters, did you think it was only the city of Miami, or the Miami area? Either way, that’s incorrect. The Miami-metro is among 19 other communities the company is still considering, and that includes all of South Florida, West Palm Beach included.
Here’s more on the national front:
While the race is far from over, Amazon (AMZN) announced Thursday it has narrowed down its list of 238 proposals from across to the U.S., Canada, and Mexico to 20 candidates, who all hope they will get a chance to become the e-commerce giant’s second headquarters.
“Thank you to all 238 communities that submitted proposals. Getting from 238 to 20 was very tough – all the proposals showed tremendous enthusiasm and creativity,” Holly Sullivan at Amazon Public Policy said in a statement. “Through this process we learned about many new communities across North America that we will consider as locations for future infrastructure investment and job creation.”
