St. Louis is putting forward a bid to be the home of Amazon’s HQ2. The second headquarters would be identical to the Amazon headquarters in Seattle and would bring $50 billion in investment and 50,000 new jobs. A number of states have already offered their bids, but Missouri officials are hoping a new Hyperloop Development will increase the state’s chances of winning. The Hyperloop would link St. Louis to Kansas City via high speed tub that could carry freight and people between the cities in 30 minutes. The tube would include a stop in Columbia.
