The group organizing Halifax’s bid for Amazon’s  second North American headquarters has launched its website, AmazonHFX.com, so anyone can see the rationale for the bid.

The bid pits Halifax against more than 200 other cities, including Canadian competitors like Toronto, Montreal and Calgary.

The site provides a snapshot of Halifax’s key business and quality of life advantages and requirements needed to become Amazon’s HQ2. The site claims that Halifax is the best financial deal for Amazon, and the technology, cultural and commercial heart of Canada’s east coast. The site includes letters from the prime minister, the mayor, Halifax Airport and Nova Scotia Power.

The project was led by Halifax Partnership, the city’s economic development organization, but the bid is the result of numerous organizations and individuals working together.

“Our proposal, like everything we do, is the collective work of many in our city and province. Our mayor, premier, First Nations, business and community partners, and our post-secondary institutions work together regularly, quickly, and effectively to attract business and people to Halifax,” Ron Hanlon, President and CEO of Halifax Partnership said in a press release.

The submission is an extension of ongoing work to attract investment opportunities, and a number of components will be repurposed to attract top companies and talent to do business in and with the city, the release stated.
