Amazon Opens Search for Amazon HQ2 - A Second Headquarters City in North America - Press Release

Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to Amazon's press room. With no digging at all our inquisitive kitty found a press release about Amazon's search for a new headquarters.

Moving where?

According to the press release, Amazon is looking for a North American location for their second headquarters (HQ2). The company plans to build a the new headquarters to function the same as the original Seattle (Washington) headquarters. The press release also states current employees in Seattle will have the option to transfer to the new HQ2 when it's completed. The press release includes a link to more information about Amazon's requirements.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Nowhere in the press release nor at Amazon's information site does it say the new headquarters will be in the U.S. It just says North America. So ... new headquarters in Canada?"
