Bring Amazon to The Hammer

- RE: Amazon looking for a new headquarte­rs

I just read an article about Amazon searching for a new headquarte­rs location in North America. They will will build an 8 million square foot campus to employ some 50,000 well paying tech jobs and spend $8 billion US dollars on the project.

Personally I believe Hamilton would be a perfect location for this company. Hamilton has a large skilled workforce, research and developmen­t facilities, logistics with an internatio­nal airport, port transporta­tion, diverse population, youthful citizenshi­p, and a lower Canadian Dollar.

Amazon is accepting proposals from interested municipali­ties. Toronto’s Major John Tory will actively be pursuing this developmen­t. Get in there mayor and bring Amazon, the fastest growing company on the globe, to The Hammer. Larry Good, Hamilton
