In a competitive, nationwide bid to land Amazon’s proposed second headquarters, Pittsburgh and Allegheny County leaders are calling on area developers to submit their best sites.

Amazon HQ2 Team Pittsburgh has issued a Request for Expressions of Interest, seeking potential sites in the Greater Pittsburgh area to include in their formal response to Amazon’s request for proposals for a second headquarters.
