发帖数: 38600 | 1 Atlanta: The southern U.S. city, home of Amazon delivery partner United
Parcel Service Inc., is a major flight hub, and the greater metro area
houses a dynamic population of almost 6 million, as well as the headquarters
of major corporations like Coca-Cola Co. and Home Depot Inc. Still, Atlanta
is a relatively suburban city, compared with the urban HQ1 of Seattle.
Boston: Several Amazon executives have already advocated putting HQ2 in
Boston, due to its proximity to Harvard University and Massachusetts
Institute of Technology; an airport with nonstop flights to Seattle and
Washington D.C.; and a lower cost of living than some other large urban
areas. Amazon has ties with Boston already, having purchased local robot
maker Kiva Systems Inc. for $775 million in 2012. The city also won General
Electric Co.’s 2015 new headquarters bid, and has provided more than $100
million in grants, property tax relief and programs for GE – though the
city has said it won’t negotiate any incentives with Amazon until Boston
makes it past the first round of the selection process.
Chicago: The Windy City ranks second in Anderson Economic Group’s analysis
of 35 cities competing for the precious HQ2, focusing on its talent,
diverse ecosystem and access to transportation in its bid. Just last month,
Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner reauthorized the Economic Development for a
Growing Economy (EDGE) tax-credit program, which provides special tax
incentives to companies relocating to Illinois or expanding operations in
the state when another state is actively competing, according to BNA. One
issue? The city isn’t known as a center of technology.
Denver: Denver has a busy international airport and is surrounded by a
highly educated workforce. It’s also home to a surge of millennials looking
for high-tech and energy jobs in Colorado, and boasts an outdoorsy
lifestyle that’s an easy fit for Amazon’s quality-of-life considerations.
Colorado has also chosen eight sites that meet Amazon’s requirements for
HQ2. Still, other cities are offering larger tax breaks than Denver.
Detroit: Detroit offers low rent and the potential for larger tax breaks,
because the city and the state of Michigan are still trying to turn
themselves around and diversify from manufacturing. Michigan is also home to
three big universities that produce a broad pool of talent. According to
Michigan State University, 70 percent of its engineering graduates remained
in the state. Even so, Governor Rick Snyder has said he will not ask the
state legislature to approve additional incentives just for Amazon,
according to Crain's Detroit Business. The city’s mass transit system also
isn’t on par with some other cities in the running, and Detroit has a
smaller tech scene.
New York: In its bid for HQ2, the Big Apple is pitching its diverse
workforce, robust university ecosystem and access to advertising, fashion
and other industries. Brooklyn is emerging as an attractive component of the
bid, with its building boom and throngs of young residents. New York is so
serious about HQ2 that Mayor Bill de Blasio had landmarks around the city,
including the Empire State Building and One World Trade, lit up in "Amazon
orange" on Wednesday night. (Neighboring Newark, New Jersey, is also jumping
in to bid, offering practically the same workforce with $7 billion in
potential tax credits.) The bid by the biggest U.S. city may be at a
disadvantage because of limited space for construction and already-high
housing costs.
NYC
Pittsburgh: The city is home to a large labor force and well-respected
research institutes like top AI and robotics university Carnegie Mellon. It
’s also close to major distribution hubs and has an industrial
manufacturing background that could be useful for Amazon’s warehousing
projects. Yet it’s far from other major metro areas and tech hubs.
Toronto: Canada’s biggest city is already home to 800 Amazon employees and
boasts a large population of computer science, engineering and artificial
intelligence graduates and programs. Municipalities in the Toronto region
have teamed up to increase their chances at scoring Amazon’s HQ2, and
Ontario just announced a plan to boost STEM graduates, saying that it can
offer talent at 30 percent less than other big tech jurisdictions. Yet going
to Canada holds political risks: Moving integral operations and workforce
from the U.S. may step up tension with President Donald Trump.
Washington: The U.S. capital city’s urban location, highly educated
workforce and public transportation are top selling points for its HQ2 bid.
Not to mention Jeff Bezos already has a strong presence there: the Amazon
founder owns the Washington Post, and last year purchased the largest home
in the city. Washington didn’t disclose what it may offer Amazon in
financial incentives, but the district has been active in providing taxpayer
dollars to corporations in the past, according to the Post. Cons include
the city’s expensive housing market and limited space for building. |
