Here's Where You Can Propose Flint for the New Amazon Headquarters

It's actually not as complicated as we thought. Never hurts to try, right?

As we previously posted, Amazon is looking to build a second headquarters somewhere int he United States. Per their website, here are the details:

		Amazon Seattle HQ
Direct [1]		Number of buildings		33
	Square feet		8.1 million
	Local retail within Amazon headquarters		24 restaurants/cafes + 8 other services
	Amazon employees		40,000+
	Capital investment (buildings & infrastructure)		$3.7 billion
	Operational expenditures (utilities & maintenance)		$1.4 billion
	Compensation to employees		$25.7 billion
	Number of annual hotel nights by visiting Amazonians and guests		233,000 (2016)
	Amount paid into the city’s public transportation system as employees’ transportation benefit		$43 million
Indirect [2]		Additional jobs created in the city as a result of Amazon’s direct investments		53,000
	Additional investments in the local economy as a result of Amazon’s direct investments		$38 billion
	Increase in personal income by non-Amazon employees as a result of Amazon’s direct investments		$17 billion
Other		Increase in Fortune 500 companies with engineering/R&D centers in Seattle		From 7 in 2010 to 31 in 2017

So, why wouldn't Flint be a prime spot for this? I'm all about using (what I call) Flint pity as a reason for this. Our city has been through hell in a hand basket over the last few years, and that's not even including the GM exit.

We're serious about it - are you? You can submit a proposal HERE.
