Amazon confirmed Thursday they will no longer be constructing a massive headquarters in New York City in the coming months; abandoning their plans following a fierce backlash from liberal politicians over massive tax breaks for the giant corporation.
“After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens,” said the press release.
