Phoenix To Pitch Park Central Mall For Amazon's Second HQ

Cities around the country are competing to try to convince online retail giant Amazon to locate there, and Phoenix is no different. The company is accepting bids this month for a $5 billion, 50,000-employee second headquarters, and Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa and Tucson are all preparing their pitches.

So, where would this massive new headquarters go if we got it?

Mike Sunnucks with the Phoenix Business Journal has a scoop — that the primary site Phoenix will be pitching to Amazon… is the Park Central Mall. Sunnucks joins The Show in our studio to talk about it.
