Milwaukee Region Vies For Amazon Headquarters

Regional Development Group Submits Proposal To Be Retail Giant`s Second Home

In their wish list for a second hometown, executives from online retail giant Amazon say they are looking for a metro area of more than 1 million people with a stable, business-friendly environment. Any proposed location should also have easy access to an international airport and major highways.
