1.0 Introduction As part of a $5 billion investment initiative in Seattle, Amazon conducted a widely
publicized location-finding process in 2017 and 2018 (Hartmans, 2021). The HQ2 process is
on track to establish a standard benchmark for future FDI projects throughout the globe
because of its huge investment volume and unique public visibility. Business investment
from both domestic and international sources is critical for economic growth in a market-
based economy. This potential may be described and formalized via the use of a set of
criteria, or 'location factors,' proposed by location theory. They are the meeting point of
policy based on geography and the interests of investors, where theory meets practice. This
article proposes Halifax as the second headquarters. Halifax meets the requirements to be
Amazon's second headquarters ranging from population size to the presence of bike lanes,
from tax incentives to high-bandwidth network connections, from appropriate information
protection legislation to effective transit. 2.0 Overwise of the city
Nova Scotia's provincial capital is Halifax, a port city on the Atlantic Ocean in eastern
Canada. In addition to being a significant economic hub, the city is well-known for its marine
heritage. An 1850s star-shaped fort dominates the city's hilltop citadel. In the War of 1812,
Halifax was a major port for privateers, and the waterfront warehouses known as the Historic
Properties remain a reminder of that era (Halifax, 2022). Halifax is Canada's finest location to
live and work remotely 2021, and Canada is the greatest nation in the world to live in 2021
(Halifax, 2022). As a result, Condé Nast Traveler has classified Halifax as one of the nicest
cities in the world. We refer to it as "a hint" when the vast majority of the individuals you see
on a regular basis are kind, welcoming, and generally upbeat. It may take some time to get

accustomed to Halifax City, but once you do, individuals fall in love with Nova Scotia and
the people who call it home. 3.0 Halifax as Amazon's second headquarters Halifax offers a great fit to be Amazon's second headquarters for various reasons.
This includes: 3.1 A perfect fit for Amazon's ambitions
Amazon is a multinational corporation with operations all over the world. Diversity
thrives in a culture of respect, peace, order, and good governance (Hartmans, 2021).
Inventiveness and new ideas flourish. People from all around the world are welcomed.
Working together, Amazon and Halifax can build conditions that foster growth, new ideas,
and a competitive edge for our clients. Companies like Irving Shipbuilding, NTT Data, and
IBM can attest to the fact that we work together to make it easier for businesses to start-up,
expand, and thrive in Halifax (Halifax Market news, 2022). The following factors make
Halifax a fit match for Amazon's ambitions. 3.1.1 Unique culture The culture in Halifax believes in openness, inclusivity, and giving, much like
Amazon. People from all walks of life are invited to join Halifax. According to Abugre &
Debrah (2019),
nearly every aspect of management, including accounting, advertising, human
resources, and information technology, is impacted by culture. Differences in culture have a
key role in whether or not it will be simple or difficult to start a company in a foreign country
(
Abugre & Debrah
, 2019)
. Halifax city-building is a career-building kind of setting and the
place where things are created. It is because Halifax's ideals are founded on a stable business,
investment, and trade environment. Halifax prides itself on an effective financial system,
backed by low taxes and company expenses and government investment in tomorrow's
creative, clean, inclusive economy, which are all advantages we can make use of.
3.1.2. A strong business drive
Better employees are attracted, and, more crucially, those employees are retained
when a firm has a strong culture. According to Heidt
,
Gerlach, & Buxmann (2019)
, people
are more inclined to stay with a company if they experience a sense of belonging. There will
be less turnover, fewer new employees, and improved team cohesion as a result of these
factors. Amazon will thrive in Halifax's economic climate. Because of Amazon's proximity to
Halifax, it is possible for the company to do business across the Atlantic Ocean and Europe
on the same day, as well as transfer items and data between the two continents (Hartmans,
2021). Because of the low cost of doing business, the highly trained and educated workforce,
and the wide range of industries represented here, you have unprecedented opportunities to
advance and prosper. Halifax administration perceives innovation and cooperation are the
keys to change. Those who live in Halifax are invested in the city's future. A dynamic,
friendly, and wealthy city can only be built with the help of everyone (Hartmans, 2021). An
engaged and collaborative community where the public and private sectors work together
toward a common goal is ideal for Amazon.
3.1.3 Halifax environment allows investors like AMAZON to think big According to Zhong
, Si, & Santini (2021)
, an environment that allows investors to
think big has a significant impact on how a company conducts business. Information
technology has a positive impact on businesses of all sizes and in all sectors. Businesses may
use it to update antiquated procedures, speed up operations, improve security, and boost
profits (
Zhon
et al., 2021). When Amazon opens its doors in Halifax, the city will join one of
North America's fastest-growing innovation zones. A swath of Halifax city's core is home to
a diverse collection of businesses ranging from start-ups to well-established corporations as
well as incubators and accelerators. Building a city where education, industry, and inhabitants
all work together is Halifax Cities goal. Halifax city's high level of talent and close linkages
to Halifax's institutions and colleges have enticed global corporations to set up shop in
Halifax. Data analytics, engineering, biological sciences, and ocean technology are just a few
of the areas where Halifax institutions and colleges are leading the way in R&D. This
creative ecosystem in Halifax provides Amazon with an abundance of new ideas skills, and
views. In addition to the opportunity for venture financing, it presents a market for Amazon
to adopt or commercialize feed-in technologies. Amazon can help Halifax explore, develop,
and innovate alongside its institutions and colleges.
3.1.4 Inclusion and diversity
Everything people do, believe, and seek in Halifax is based on embracing diversity. In
Halifax residents' view, diversity encompasses much more than just a person's ethnicity,
sexual orientation, linguistic preference, or gender identity. Halifax city recognizes,
appreciates, and respects a wide range of viewpoints, experiences, and abilities. As a city,
Halifax seeks to remove obstacles so that everyone has the opportunity to participate and
contribute meaningfully. According to Ward (2016), in 2015, Halifax city received over
1,000 Syrian refugees, some of whom arrived well-off and with impressive resumes, while
others arrived with nothing more than the will and drove to improve their own lives and the
lives of their families and communities.
Sustainability
A clean power strategy can only be created by working together, and Halifax shares
Amazon's commitment to renewable energy and a sustainable economy. Halifax City is
always looking for new ways to improve mobility and constantly testing out new ideas and

solutions in the hopes of creating a better environment to live and work in. Renewable
resources and sustainable technologies are flourishing in the Halifax City energy sector, and
the city has all of the necessary services, skills, and infrastructure to support the growth of
Amazon. When it comes to greenhouse gas reductions, Nova Scotia leads the country.
Halifax City is already met our 2030 target and is on course to exceed it by 40 percent (Nova
Scotia Power and Emera Company, 2022). According to Nova Scotia Power and Emera
Company (2022), there is an estimated 60,000 MW of tidal power potential in the United
States, making it one of the world's largest renewable energy sources. Our renewable power
supply now accounts for 25 percent of total electricity generation, with a goal of reaching 40
percent by 2020 (Nova Scotia Power and Emera Company, 2022). Moreover, this is just the
beginning. In addition, Halifax City will make a contribution to Amazon's increasing energy
portfolio and will work to strengthen Amazon's approach to renewable power.
4.0 Conducive business location Amazon's HQ2 location in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is unlike any other in the United
States. Ninety-two acres of prime beachfront property in the heart of the city. Halifax City
international airport is about 25 minutes away, and the main highway system is just a short
drive away (Nova Scotia, 2022). It's simple for Amazonians to drive, bike, or paddle to work
because of the city's many modes of transportation. Amazon's waterfront position provides a
wealth of district energy potential. Furthermore, Halifax City has space for Amazon to
expand. For Amazon's HQ2 in Halifax, Shannon Park is an ideal 92-acre seaside location. 4.1 Proposed headquarters site information
Halifax City proposed headquarters is a 92-acre redevelopment property in Shannon
Park is the largest in the city (Canada Lands Company, 2022). This federally-owned business
supports the government of Canada in disposing of excess lands and presently owns around
82 acres that are being prepped for development. Canada Lands Company has been working
with the Millbrook First Nation on a master plan for their 10 acres of property, and they are
preparing for the development of their land (Canada Lands Company, 2022). Residents in the
area and Canada Lands Company are in agreement that the ideal design for Shannon Park is
one that uses the property as an extension of Halifax's urban core. Parks, paths, and
pedestrian links connecting businesses, government, industry, and culture are all part of the
mix that they want to create (Canada Lands Company, 2022). With this proposal, they
believe that Halifax's waterfront will be accessible and connected to a wide variety of land
uses.
4.2 City certification and zoning process
Currently, a development agreement is being negotiated for the Shannon Park
property, and the industrial zone I-3 is included in the CDD zone. The CDD system allows
for zoning flexibility. A deal between the Canada Lands Company and a developer has
already begun the approval procedure (Halifax Planning & Development, 2022).
Site
construction may begin in 2021 after the development agreement has been signed, which is
expected to happen in the next several years. 4.3 Halifax City readiness
The Amazon Halifax HQ2 project is well-timed to take advantage of this brownfield
redevelopment opportunity. There are nine development plots in Shannon Park's first phase,
as well as the central park and the central collector road. There is enough space in these
parcels to accommodate the HQ2 development as outlined in the RFP. Shannon Park's
community vision and Amazon's RFP will guide the development of Phase 1, which will be
small and mixed-use (Halifax Planning & Development, 2022).
4.4 Efficient transport system As a result of its location in the heart of Halifax's urban core, the Shannon Park site
has excellent regional transit connectivity, owing to its proximity to historically well-
connected neighborhoods. The Halifax Stanfield International Airport is around 25 minutes
away by car, and it's on the Halifax Harbor shoreline in Dartmouth, the northernmost part of
the city (
Heidt
et al., 2019)
. Public transportation, such as the MetroLink rapid transit system,
runs alongside the mainline of the Canadian National Railway (
Bela & Habib, 2019). All of
these possibilities have been examined, and the inclusion of a sizable number of Amazon
workers will be part of a new investigation to support the creation of a second boat route.
Shannon Park stands out as a special and ideal location for Amazon's second headquarters in
Halifax because of its pedestrian facilities and linkages to recreational trail networks and a
number of public transportation choices. Redevelopment plans for the waterfront area have
included plans for a significant waterfront walk, which will link to other villages.
4.5 Room for future expansion
Amazon's HQ2 demands will be met by the Shannon Park location. For Amazon to
expand, Halifax has space to grow. Master-planned residential and commercial development
on a sixteen-acre site will replace the Cogswell Interchange. More than six acres of pad-ready
property will be made available to private developers. When it comes to working in Halifax's
Innovation District, this is a great chance for Amazon to become involved. The planned
Amazon Halifax HQ2 campus is four miles away from the Cogswell Interchange sites.
Beginning in 2019, the destruction of highway infrastructure will commence on the Cogswell
Interchange Lands (Halifax Planning & Development, 2022).

5.0 Halifax City 10 billion business advantage Halifax has the greatest bargain for Amazon HQ2 in North America. Globally,
Halifax is the 6th most business-friendly city, according to KPMG's Competitive Alternatives
survey (
Blayney
et al., 2020). Comparing Amazon Halifax HQ2 to Seattle, the KPMG model
predicts savings of more than $10 billion over the next decade (
Blayney
et al., 2020). Halifax
has the lowest cost of labor for every Amazon job out of the 17 North American locations
that are in the running for the honor (
Blayney
et al., 2020). From supply chain logistics
coordination to user support technicians, Halifax has an average labor cost advantage of 21%.
Halifax is the most cost-effective place to work for any Amazon employment (
Blayney
et al.,
2020).
5.1 Loacal business incentives Halifax's Amazon HQ2 is a game-changer for the city. The federal, provincial, and
local governments provide a wide range of business development incentives to help the
formation of operations and the recruitment, training, and retention of a loyal, talented, and
technically competent staff. The Nova Scotia, Business Development Institute, is focused on
supporting Amazon in the process of establishing a presence in the province of Nova Scotia
(
Patel, & Doshi,
2019). In order to ensure that you have exposure to all the tools and
policymakers accessible to you, the NSBI and the Halifax Partnership will collaborate with
Amazon to identify the most suitable incentives and programs for your business. The Nova
Scotia Business Institute manages the province's Payroll Rebate program on behalf of the
provincial government, which is a performance-based incentive that reimburses eligible
payroll costs to businesses such as Amazon.
Many international firms, like IBM and NTT Data, have taken use of the Payroll
Rebate tool in Nova Scotia to develop world-class, global business centers. For Japan's
Mitsubishi Financial, the Payroll Rebate tool in Nova Scotia has also helped them create their
first North American foothold (
Bela & Habib, 2019). Over $35 million (CAD) in funds was
provided in 2016–2017 via the Payroll Rebate mechanism, including incentives for
businesses employing recent graduates and new Nova Scotia workers (
Patel, & Doshi,
2019).
The Payroll Rebate's criteria change when NSBI and prospective customers engage in a
discourse about the company's personnel growth goals. NSBI and Amazon would create and
negotiate the details of a Payroll Rebate incentive to encourage Amazon's staff expansion in
Nova Scotia in accordance with the company's planned growth. NSBI would welcome the
opportunity to meet with Amazon and, at the conclusion of this process, to provide Amazon a
Payroll Rebate incentive as a thank you.
It is possible that programs given by the Nova Scotia Department of Labor and
Advanced Education, such as the Workforce Performance and Technological Skills Reward
and Founder Learning Incentive, may aid Amazon in its efforts to build an entire global staff
in Nova Scotia. WIPSI's progressive training courses, which reimburse up to 50 percent of
direct training expenses, help employees become more productive, more creative, and more
adept at using emerging technologies (
Patel & Doshi,
2019). The province of Nova Scotia's
commitment to encouraging innovation is bolstered through initiatives, grants, and incentives
targeted at improving how enterprises may flourish in the province. Newly announced by
Nova Scotia is the Innovation Rebate Program, which will provide financial assistance to
companies that make significant investments in capital projects that spur new company
development. 5.2 Halifax City uncertain incentives
Amazon may be able to influence other parties' payments and/or talks if they make
use of some of the greater incentives available to them. The discretionary incentives indicated
above may be confidently disbursed after the agreement has been reached. It is impossible to
modify the political climate of these incentives since they are regulated via legal contracts.
As a result, tax incentives would have to be structured in close coordination with Amazon to
be effective. Early negotiations with Amazon would provide an approximation of these tax-
based benefits, which, if established, would be very guaranteed. There are a variety of
incentives available in Nova Scotia, which are included in the table below.
People from all over the globe want to settle in Halifax and establish a life for
themselves here. According to MacKinnon (2021)
, with over 36000 students enrolling each
year at seven postsecondary institutions, we have one of the most well-educated and
dedicated workforces in the world. Every year, almost 10,000 people get degrees and
certifications (
MacKinnon, 2021). Halifax City's talent pipeline will always be working for
Amazon, thanks to Halifax City's open-minded immigration rules and welcoming attitudes.
Halifax City can guarantee that individuals will stay if they have the option to work in this
location and with one of the world's most innovative organizations. Compared to the United
States, employee turnover in Halifax is quite low. In contrast to the U.S. average of 33.1%,
this is just 8.6% in the I.T. industry (
MacKinnon, 2021). More than half of our postsecondary
students originate from outside the United States. 70% of them plan to remain in Halifax
permanently (
MacKinnon, 2021).
5.3 Supportive education systems Amazon Halifax HQ2 might benefit from expertise in a variety of industries as it
seeks a new headquarters location. Health and bioinformatics are two more subjects that may
be relevant, in addition to economists, accountants, and business students. Many of these
disciplines can be obtained in postsecondary institutions around the city, province, and the
greater Canadian job market. Additionally, information about neighboring Nova Scotia and

Maritime provinces' institutions. The number of overseas students in Halifax universities
jumped from 2,800 in 2009 to almost 6,000 in 2015 (
Oztemel & Gursev, 2020). Since the
year 2000, the number of foreign students attending Halifax University has increased by an
average of 10.1% every year (
Oztemel & Gursev, 2020).
5.4 Loyal workforce
Canada as a country is known for its dedication to its respective workplaces (
Chatoor
& Kaufman, 2020).
Earlier this year, we conducted a poll to gauge the level of demand for
workers in key positions in the province's growing I.T. sector. The attrition rates in the
United States, as illustrated to the right by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are vastly different.
The attrition rate never falls below 23% during the course of five years of data collected from
five different industries (
Chatoor
& Kaufman, 2020).
With this kind of employee
commitment and consistency, Halifax operations still have another huge cost advantage.
6.0 Halifax's proposed hiring strategy for Amazon
To staff its Halifax HQ2, Amazon will depend on a variety of sources. There are
many people in the city who are highly educated and competent, including many people in
the professions that Amazon is most likely to need. Since Halifax is a major educational hub
in the area, it benefits from a continual influx of recent college and university grads entering
the labor market. There are several educational institutes within a short distance of the city's
limits. When it comes time for these students to start searching for jobs after graduation,
Halifax is often the first place they seek. Following an initial examination of Amazon's
requirements, the present labor force, postsecondary enrollment rates, and immigration
patterns, it seems that the recruitment method outlined here might benefit from Halifax's
inherent advantages. It is expected that local workers and educational institutions will fill
about two-thirds of the non-IT positions in Halifax, with the remaining one-third coming
from across Nova Scotia and the rest of Canada, drawn by the prospect of working at
Amazon's second headquarters in the city. Using a variety of recruitment strategies,
Amazon's Halifax HQ2 would be able to grow with the region and better serve its customers.
Amazon will then be able to take advantage of all the additional benefits that come with
being located in a city the size of Halifax.
7.0 A happier environment to both locals and investors People are drawn to this location by its spirit, which beckons them to return. Every
day, our city changes, Halifax City has managed to hold on to our core identity. Many young
people, immigrants, and students from across the world fall in love with Halifax's east coast
lifestyle each year. Low crime, affordable housing, and a desirable mix of urban and rural
neighborhoods and facilities make it hard to dislike this region. On the list of the Top 10 U.S.
cities for best human capital and lifestyle in 2017/18, Halifax was number one on both lists
(Intelligence, 2022).
Finding a location in the globe where you can drive from the conference to the
seashore in less than 30 mins is a rare discovery these days (Intelligence, 2022). There are a
number of them. For existing and future residents and companies, Halifax City's unmatched
mix of metropolitan conveniences and rural, natural beauty provides an extraordinary quality
of life. Within a few minutes' drive from the city center, there is a slew of events and
activities. Visitors may have a refreshing dip in Queensland and Lawrencetown Beaches. All
ages may enjoy both free and paid activities at ice rinks, swimming pools, tennis courts, and
gyms. The Emera Oval, Eastern Canada's biggest outdoor, artificially chilled ice surface, is a
popular attraction in Halifax (Intelligence, 2022).
With the help of other local vineyards and farmers, Luckett's Winery has created a
wine tour that includes local food at each stop. "Craft Beer Bus" tours four local breweries
where attendees may taste pints and match them with locally produced meals. Among other
things, these partnerships have resulted in the export of Nova Scotia wine to countries across
the globe and the most craft brewers per capita in Canada in Nova Scotia. When it comes to
restaurants and retail businesses in Downtown Halifax, these local names have been the
focus. Craft beers, ciders, and wines from local breweries can be found at bars like Stillwell
and Lion & Bright. On Spring Garden Road in the heart of Halifax, Stillwell constructed an
urban beer garden as well. Businesses like these are common in Halifax, and they create a
wonderful environment for people to relax, collaborate, or just hang out.
8.0 Conclusion
In conclusion, the Amazon HQ2 is a chance to go off the beaten path and discover
something new. Halifax City is that one-of-a-kind thing. Halifax City is the east coast's
epicenter of innovation and creativity in technology, business, and the arts. To make
Amazon's HQ2 a success, it will be a team effort, and Halifax City offers the best location
and environment. Halifax City people are enthralled by Amazon's bold vision, fearless
determination, and sincere ideals. It is a reality that Amazon pioneers face every day. The
same is true for the people of Halifax. Halifax City encouraged development without
jeopardizing our city's unique character. Halifax City's progress has never been dependent on
a lone actor. As a result, Halifax City's neighborhoods and communities are shaped by the
people who call it home. Workers at Amazon want a place they can decorate and personalize
to their liking. Furthermore, this location appeals to a wide range of different kinds of
businesses. Every day, Halifax City's highly-trained, highly-educated workforce grows and is
unwaveringly loyal to our company. While Halifax City calls the east coast our home, the
local connections to the rest of the world are effortless. Halifax City urban space is adaptable
and captivating, and our business costs are competitive. It will be impossible to narrow down

the ideal location for Amazon's second headquarters based on just one factor. All of the
advantages of a competitive business in one place. It's all over now, and Halifax City could
not be more prepared for Amazon's arrival. References
