Orland Park, Tinley Park Join the Race for Amazon's New Headquarters
Amazon is spoiled for choice when it comes to picking the location for its new headquarters. Cities across the country are clamoring to land what is sure to be a big economic boon. Chicago has high hopes, and now two of its suburbs have joined the fray. The Chicago Tribune reports that Orland Park and Tinley Park are suggesting potential sites for Amazon’s headquarters.
Orland Park is proposing a number of sites located along the Interstate-80 Corridor, according to the report. Orland Park officials have also pointed out how close Amazon’s Joliet fulfillment location is to their community.
Tinley Park is suggesting the former Tinley Park Mental Health Center, a 280-acre site located near a Meta stop, according to the report.
Amazon’s deadline for proposals is Oct. 19. A decision on Amazon’s HQ2 campus location is expected sometime next year, according to the report.
