Brooklyn officials are working to bring Amazon to the borough after the retail giant announced plans to open a second headquarters.
Local developers and lawmakers are hoping to make the case for Brooklyn as the best choice, boasting tech-friendly space that other cities lack and innovative residents.
Borough President Eric Adams is teaming up with Chamber of Commerce President Andrew Hoan for a campaign called "Brooklyn Prime."
Other cities vying for Amazon's new headquarters include Austin, Texas, Boston and Buffalo, New York.
Amazon confirmed last week that it's building a fulfillment center in Staten Island, making it the first Amazon facility in New York City.
