When news broke Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos would speak at an event this week, some people speculated he might tease details about the company's search for a second headquarters. (Earlier in the day, Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie, committed $2 billion to fund existing nonprofits that help homeless families and to create a network of preschools in low-income communities). Amazon plans to announce the winning city by end of the year, and Bezos confirmed this during the talk. Meanwhile, The New York Post speculated that Amazon may announce the winning city on July 5, the company's birthday. Newark's Glover said Amazon has done an "amazing job" of getting the country excited and interested in the search.
