Landing Amazon’s HQ2: A Complicated Prospect For Atlanta
Officials in Georgia are ecstatic that the Atlanta area has made the list of 20 finalist sites for Amazon’s second headquarters, what the company’s calling HQ2.
There have been a lot of promises about how life will change for the better if the online retail giant comes to Georgia. But what is it like to live in a city with Amazon?
Amazon’s existing headquarters is in Seattle, where NPR member station KUOW has been producing “Prime(d),” a podcast all about what happens when Amazon comes to town.
Carolyn Adolph is one of the hosts of “Prime(d)” and joined Denis O’Hayer on “Morning Edition” to talk about Amazon’s impact on Seattle and what that could mean for the city that eventually lands HQ2.
