Indy-Fishers, Gary submit bids for Amazon headquarters

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Thursday is the last day for U.S. cities to submit a bid to Amazon.

Gov. Eric Holcomb has encouraged other leaders around the state to work on bids.

The retailer is looking for a location for its second headquarters.

Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett has said he and the mayor of Fishers planned to submit a joint proposal, though there was no word Thursday on any of those details.

The city of Gary is also submitting a bid.

Amazon says the new headquarters will create 50,000 jobs.

The company will pick a location sometime next year.
