Dallas-Fort Worth Responds To Amazon's HQ2 Request With Area Unified Chambers Of Commerce Video

DALLAS, TX — The DFW Region has unified to submit a response to Amazon’s search for the location of its second headquarters. The submittal fulfills Amazon’s request for a single response from a large Metropolitan Statistical Area such as the Dallas Fort Worth region.

Mike Rosa said The Dallas Regional Chamber and the Fort Worth Chamber worked throughout the process to collect, organize and deliver the regional-level data and information that was requested by Amazon, as well as a promotional video titled "DFW & Amazon."

“It’s always great to pursue opportunities like this with the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, and the professionals that conduct economic development for our regional cities,” said the senior vice president of economic development at the Dallas Regional Chamber. “Working together, we’ve had a lot of success bringing new jobs, companies and investment here. I’m confident we’ve shared with Amazon all the things that have made this region a great place for corporate headquarters location.”
