Amazon's HQ2 Probably Headed to Northern Virginia (Crystal City)

its no where near as big as what was planned in queens, and they're just tenants, they're not contributing to ish for da community or infrastructure...she sound like she celebrating saved crumbs from da cake that fell on da sidewalk already.
Once again, I really don't care for or think Amazon was going to contribute to the community or infrastructure. The city can contribute 3B towards that if they care to, or invest 3B in small/medium businesses in the city which would create tens of thousands of jobs. You know, the ones who actually pay taxes.

they was, regardless of what you think/care about it..it was part of da deal...that 3 billion wasn't sitting around anywhere...that was a discount for them in return investing 28 billion in da neighborhood & city.
 
:lol: goodnight

*sigh*

Dear Mr. Bezos:

New Yorkers do not want to give up on the 25,000 permanent jobs, 11,000 union construction and maintenance jobs, and $28 billion in new tax revenues that Amazon was prepared to bring to our state. A clear majority of New Yorkers support this project and were disappointed by your decision not to proceed. We understand that becoming home to the world's industry leader in e-commerce, logistics and web services would be a tremendous boost for our state's technology industry, which is our fastest growing generator of new jobs. As representatives of a wide range of government, business, labor and community interests, we urge you to reconsider, so that we can move forward together.

We know the public debate that followed the announcement of the Long Island City project was rough and not very welcoming. Opinions are strong in New York—sometimes strident. We consider it part of the New York charm! But when we commit to a project as important as this, we figure out how to get it done in a way that works for everyone.

Governor Cuomo will take personal responsibility for the project's state approval and Mayor de Blasio will work together with the governor to manage the community development process, including the workforce development, public education and infrastructure investments that are necessary to ensure that the Amazon campus will be a tremendous benefit to residents and small businesses in the surrounding communities.

New York attracts the best, most diverse talent from across the globe. We are a dynamic new center of the country's most inclusive tech economy. We all hope you reconsider and join us in building the exciting future of New York.
