PUGH MAYOR OF BALTIMORE Baltimore. This Must Be the Place. Amazon will have a great impact on the city chosen for Amazon HQ2, but that city will have a great impact on Amazon. The right city must have a talented workforce, a passion for innovation, a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and environmentally-friendly and sustainable design. The city you choose will share Amazon’s culture and values; Amazon and its HQ2 city will share in each other’s momentum. Baltimore, as you will see, is a city on the rise like no other. When it comes to Amazon HQ2, I am confident you will agree ‘This Must Be the Place.’ Baltimore is located at the epicenter of talent, education and innovation, borne out of its strategic, central location in the heart of the Northeast Corridor of the United States, and decades of collaboration between government, private enterprise, academia, the military and venture capital. As port and rail traffic blends with fiber-optic connections, makerspaces and tech start- ups, Baltimore is the only city with the grit, history and innovative spirit to lead the synergistic union of American commerce and technology for the 21st century.
