San Antonio Withdraws From Bid On New Amazon Headquarters

San Antonio has withdrawn its efforts to woo Amazon.com, the city's economic development group said this week. Amazon.com is in the midst of a big effort to select what it calls "Amazon HQ2", a new headquarters location which it will run in conjunction with its existing headquarters in Seattle. That effort has drawn bids from cities across the United States who are eager to gain the employment benefits of such a dominant tech player. In a statement, the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation said submitting a bid like requested from Amazo is "not our style".
