Georgia city plans to rename itself 'Amazon' if it gets new headquarters

Amazon is currently choosing a location to base its second headquarters in, and as biz-hungry cities across North America hope and pray to be the the chosen one a city in Georgia has proven particularly thirsty.

Stonecrest, Georgia wants that HQ (along with the promised 50,000 "high-paying jobs") so badly that it's prepared to rename a part of its city "Amazon, Georgia" if chosen, according to The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Totally normal thing to do, Stonecrest. Not obsessive at all. Really.

The local news publication reported that on Monday its city council voted 4-2 in favor of de-annexing 345 acres of land in Stonecrest to form the city of Amazon.

It's a bold action, but one Stonecrest Mayor Jason Lary feels will set his city apart from the competition.

"There are several major U.S. cities that want Amazon, but none has the branding opportunity we are now offering this visionary company," Lary told The Atlanta Journal Constitution. "How could you not want your 21st century headquarters to be located in a city named Amazon?"

When Amazon first invited cities to submit their proposals for housing the new HQ2 back in September, the company said it was looking for "a location with strong local and regional talent" in software development, but also a "business-friendly environment."

That's all well and good, but Georgia clearly focused in on Amazon's invitation for cities to "think big and be creative." It's not the only place trying to lure Jeff Bezos in with flashy incentives — Tuscon, Arizona sent a 21-foot saguaro cactus as a gift, and Dallas, Texas made a damn Spotify playlist — but a city namesake is a pretty big deal.

Whether Stonecrest wins Amazon's HQ2 or not, there's no denying this whole thing has been pretty freaking embarrassing for the cities participating in these business-style Hunger Games.

Stonecrest officials reportedly plan to submit an official bid to Amazon before the Oct. 19 deadline so only time will tell if a city named after his pride and joy is enough to sway Bezos.
