here’s still no official word on where Amazon is planning to build its second headquarters, but a trail of clues may be leading to the Washington, D.C. area.
Just over a year after the tech company announced it was seeking a spot to put a $5 billion office expected to generate up to 50,000 jobs, a series of hints have people eyeing the nation’s capital for HQ2. Among the biggest indicators that D.C. may have won the bidding war is the fact that founder Jeff Bezos — along with Amazon’s board of directors — is reportedly in the nation’s capital this week. The group held a dinner Tuesday night, and Bezos is scheduled to speak at an unusually large meeting of the local Economic Club on Thursday, according to the Washington Post.
