Amazon confirms New York City and Northern Virginia for new headquarters
|
[ABC] Amazon has announced that it will divide it’s much-anticipated headquarters between Virginia and New York.
They wanted to be close to their share holders.
The announcement ends a search that spanned more than a year and sparked an intense competition between North American cities to be chosen as the site of the new headquarters. The company received 238 proposals, and cities provided incentives such as grants and tax breaks to win the company’s favor. The Virginia headquarters will be located in National Landing in Arlington, and the New York City headquarters will be located in the Long Island City neighborhood in Queens.
Two of the most congested metro areas on the planet about to absorb another 50,000 workers. Obviously no politics involved here.
Amazon also announced a new Center of Excellence for its Operations business in Nashville, Tennessee.
"We are excited to build new headquarters in New York City and Northern Virginia," said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon. "These two locations will allow us to attract world-class talent that will help us to continue inventing for customers for years to come. The team did a great job selecting these sites, and we look forward to becoming an even bigger part of these communities."
