Amazon just revealed the top 20 contenders for its new headquarters — here are their incredible proposals (AMZN)

Amazon has shortlisted 20 locations for its new headquarters.

  • The list of candidates includes Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, and Denver.
  • The company said it will make a final decision this year.

Amazon has waded through 238 proposals from cities across North America that are eager to become the home of its new headquarters, HQ2.

On Thursday, the company announced that it has reduced the list to 20 finalists, which includes Atlanta, Dallas, Washington, DC, and New York City.

In the next few months, Amazon will be working with these locations to investigate the bids in more detail before making a decision. Late last year, the company outlined several requirements for cities, including access to an international airport, a population of more than one million, and a "stable and business-friendly environment."
