Amazon Narrows It’s Search – Did Buffalo Make The Cut?

It has been a big deal that Amazon is planning on adding a second headquarters called HQ2 and was looking for bids from cities.  Buffalo and Rochester put a bid in together.  Did they make it?

The cuts were announced today and unfortunately Buffalo/Rochester isn't on the short list.

It's a big deal because according to CNBC, the city that wins the bid will see a boost in employment for sure.  Amazon is said to be hiring 50,000 people for HQ2 and is planning on spending $5 billion in the area.

The 20 that did make the cut:

• Atlanta
