It started with 238 cities vying for one second headquarters for online retail giant Amazon, but if reports Monday night are correct, it’s now down to two cities that will split the headquarters — and neither city is Dallas.
Instead, the headquarters will be divided between Long Island City, New York, and Crystal City, Virginia, the Wall Street Journal reported late Monday.
The $5 billion HQ2 will reportedly divide the projected 50,000 employees needed between two sites. Prognosticators with inside sources have reported for more than a week that Amazon would likely split the headquarters between the two cities. Crystal City is a suburb of Arlington, Virginia, and Long Island City is in Queens, New York.
We’ll have more tomorrow, when the company is expected to officially announce its decision, including reaction from local leaders.
