Atlanta Likely Strikes Out In Amazon HQ2 Bid

While Amazon opened a new delivery station in Lawrenceville in October and debuted new delivery vans for the first time in metro Atlanta, it doesn’t look like, according to reports, that Atlanta will be the new home of Amazon’s second headquarters.

According to multiple media outlets, Atlanta is no longer in the running for Amazon’s second headquarters.

Amazon won’t confirm if the rumors are true that Northern Virginia, Dallas and New York City are the top contenders for its second campus, possibly even splitting the coveted headquarters between multiple cities.

Atlanta had been included on the shortlist of 20 metro areas for the new site of Amazon’s second headquarters, and Amazon already has fulfillment and customer service centers in Georgia that employ thousands.
