Two economic development groups in New Mexico (Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance and the Border Industrial Association) worked with the state’s government on a proposal for Amazon to build its headquarters in three cities on both sides of the US-Mexico border.

Called HQ2Countries, the bid calls for an urban plan with seven hexagon-shaped areas. There would be office buildings, housing, retail, a wind and solar farm, and small parks.

“We believe we have submitted to Amazon, not only a unique and bold proposal, but one that simultaneously meets the needs of the population, talent attraction, infrastructure, and quality of life requirements of the RFP,” Davin Lopez, CEO of the Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance, told Business Insider.
