238 applications have been submitted in the two months since Amazon announced it will be searching for a site for their new co-headquarters.
Bestplaces lists Detroit-Windsor as 22nd.
The website says Atlanta in the top choice, followed by Boston and Chicago. Toronto is ranked 12th.
Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens tells CTV Windsor the ranking is encouraging.
“We’ve put forward what we think is the best bid,” says Dilkens. “I think Amazon, when they get our documents will be impressed with what they see.”
The team at Sperling's BestPlaces says they collected 18 of the most reputable lists and rankings of potential Amazon HQ2 locations. Using those rankings, they created a super-study which tallied how each location performed and from that, they generated a score for each place.
“We hope to make that shortlist, we want to make that shortlist and we want Amazon here to show them all the great things that are going on, in our communities” adds Dilkens.
