A website says Atlanta is in the driver's seat to win the bidding for Amazon's second North American headquarters.
The joint Detroit-Windsor bid is 22nd on the list from BestPlaces.net that combined 18 other rankings according to the website's Ted Sperling. "Definitely Detroit has a chance, just sort of a best guess on what people are guessing. Coming in at 22, it's definitely still in the running.
BestPlaces.net ranks the top 64 cities in the running for the Amazon expansion, with Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington, DC rounding out the top five. Detroit submitted an international bid with Windsor, and the only other Canadian city in the top 25 is Toronto in 12th.
238 towns, cities and jurisdictions across Canada, the U-S and Mexico submitted a bid last week to the online giant.
Amazon wants to invest close to $5-billion over 15 years in its new headquarters, creating up to 50,000 new jobs.
A site will be selected sometime in 2018.
