  • Senior Amazon.com (AMZN +0.5%) execs are weighing Boston as the location of its "HQ2" second headquarters, Bloomberg reports, though Amazon denies Beantown has any lead on anywhere else.
  • Boston is getting consideration due to its proximity to Harvard and MIT, an airport with good connections to Seattle and Washington, D.C., and a low cost of living, according to Bloomberg's source.
  • But "Bloomberg is incorrect -- there are no front-runners at this point," the company tweets. "We're just getting started & every city is on equal playing field."
  • "We're energized by the response from cities across NA who have already reached out to express interest in participating in the HQ2 RFP," Amazon also says.
  • The second headquarters, which Amazon says will be comparable in size to its existing base in Seattle, will mean 50,000 jobs and $5B in investment, the company says.
