Amazon cancels New York headquarters plan


Amazon is retreating from plans to build a second headquarters in New York City after state and local leaders strongly opposed providing the company with roughly $3 billion in tax incentives.


"For Amazon, the commitment to build a new headquarters requires positive, collaborative relationships with state and local elected officials who will be supportive over the long-term," the company said in a statement.


Amazon does not plan to pick an alternate site. Instead, the company said it would proceed with previously announced offices in Virginia and Tennessee, and expand its 17 other offices across the U.S. and Canada.
