Today, Amazon announced it's "short list" of the 20 cities it's considering, to build it's 2nd headquarters. Indianapolis is included in that list. I feel so proud of our city! Here is the complete list;
* Atlanta
* Austin
* Boston
* Chicago
* Columbus, OH
* Dallas
* Denver
* Indianapolis
* Los Angeles
* Miami
* Montgomery County, MD
* Nashville
* Newark
* New York City
* Northern Virginia
* Philadelphia
* Pittsburgh
* Raleigh, NC
* Toronto
* Washington DC
I bet they pick Toronto, just a hunch. Anyway, every city has to submit their proposals by October and they will make their choice, next year. I think Dallas and Nashville have a shot. Florida's economy is sucky but I think they could pull it off. I just don't think NYC, Boston, Chicago or LA can make themselves look good enough. Yep, they're all the biggest cities, but I don't think that counts for a project this big. I don't know if Indy is prepared for that kind of building boom, but it still says a lot for our city, that we made the list :-)
