Amazon tours Washington, Maryland and Virginia in search for new HQ
Washington
OFFICIALS from Amazon.com toured sites in Washington, Montgomery County in Maryland, and northern Virginia last week - the latest sign that the tech giant is seriously considering adding a second headquarters with as many as 50,000 jobs to the Washington area, according to officials in all three jurisdictions.
There are at least nine sites in the Washington area proposed for the tech giant's expansion, dubbed HQ2. Officials from the firm toured sites in northern Virginia early in the week, Washington in the middle, and Montgomery County at the end, according to the officials, some of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because they had signed agreements not to disclose company information.
