Amazon dashed the Baltimore region's hopes of landing the
plum prize of its
second headquarters and tens of thousands of new
jobs, as the online retail giant excluded the city from its list of finalists announced Thursday.
And of course, Baltimore is competing against more than 200 other cities and regions to grab the biggest economic development
plum in years: the $ 5 billion
second headquarters of Amazon that promises to bring 50,000 new
jobs to its chosen city.
