Around 40 union leaders, local officials and business owners asked Amazon to reconsider New York for its HQ2 in an open letter in the Times.
About 40 New York union leaders, local officials and business owners published an open letter in Friday's New York Times asking Amazon to give Long Island City one more shot.
The local leaders join New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in calls for the company to reconsider its Valentine's Day announcement that it would no longer build part of its new headquarters in Long Island City after a frosty welcome from local politicians and local activists. On Thursday night, the Times reported that Cuomo has been speaking with Amazon executives, including CEO Jeff Bezos, and making the case for the company's return.
So far, Amazon has made no signs that it's willing to compromise. When the company announced its reversal, it said in a statement,"a number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required to go forward with the project we and many others envisioned in Long Island City."
