A release from the City said Langford's bid identified a number of serviced, development ready areas within the region that can meet the needs of Amazon and the hundreds of employees that would be working at the new facility. In addition to a video presentation featuring Mayor Stew Young, the bid also highlights the capacity for community growth, local business climate and political will to ensure the potential partnership would be a resounding success. "With competitive wages, affordable and high quality housing, and world-class recreational opportunities, our post-secondary institutions and tech sector are leaders in developing, attracting and retaining first-class talent," said Dale Gann, chair of the Amazon HQ2 bid committee. But Langford will be in for some steep competition. Amazon received 238 proposals from cities across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, all hoping to be home of the second headquarters. The online giant released a statement Monday, noting those proposals came from a total of 54 states, provinces, districts and territories across North America. Langford is just one of those bids trying to woo the tech giant. Others include Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax, Ottawa, Edmonton and Calgary. Langford's bid was prepared in partnership with the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Trade and Technology, the City of Langford's Economic Development Committee, the Sooke Economic Development Commission, the Malahat Nation, and multiple businesses and regional partners. editor@goldstream gazette. corn Mayor Stew Young and the City of Langford have joined the race to catch Amazon's attention and land the company's new headquarters.
