Georgia city will rename itself Amazon if it wins the new headquarters
As North American cities vie for the chance to be chosen by Amazon as the home of its second headquarters, one Georgia city has stepped up to the plate. The city council of Stonecrest, Georgia voted 4 to 2 on Monday to change its name to Amazon, Georgia and give the company 345 acres of land if Amazon selects it as the HQ destination, according to local media.
Amazon, Georgia doesn’t quite have the same ring as say, Toyota City — headquarters to Toyota Motors in Japan — but it definitely makes for a unique (if desperate) offer. “There are several major US cities that want Amazon, but none has the branding opportunity we are now offering this visionary company,” said the city’s mayor, Jason Lary.
