Northam: ‘Virginia is for Amazon lovers’
Governor announces internet giant’s new location in Northern Virginia By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Efforts to entice Amazon to build its second headquarters in Virginia were rewarded with Tuesday’s announcement of a $2.5 billion investment by the corporate giant to spread its offices over Pentagon City, Crystal City and Potomac Yard in Northern Virginia. Amazon, based in Seattle, Washington, decided
to split its second headquarters between Virginia and Long Island City in New York. States and communities across the nation submitted 238 different proposals that included incentives as they
bid to lure Amazon to them. Northern Virginia’s proposal included four sites in the city of Alexandria, Arlington County, Fairfax County and Loudoun County. “National Landing,” the winning location, was proposed as a joint partnership between the City of Alexandria and Arlington County.
