Amazon announced Thursday that it narrowed down its list for the company’s second headquarters to 20 locations.

The company received 238 bids from the United States, Canada and Mexico to host its second headquarters, with cities eager for the economic boost it could bring. Amazon expects it will invest more than $5 billion and create 50,000 high-paying jobs with “Amazon HQ2.”

Three of the locations are in the D.C. area, home to the Washington Post, which Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos purchased in 2013.

Bezos also purchased a home — the city’s largest — in the Washington, D.C., neighborhood of Kalorama for $23 million in 2016.
