The Wall Street Journal reported Monday evening that Arlington County and New York City will split Amazon’s HQ2.
The Journal report says Amazon is dividing its second headquarters evenly between New York City’s Long Island City and Arlington County’s Crystal City neighborhoods — and the 50,000 jobs and billions of dollars of investment it promises to bring with it.
Amazon did not comment on the Journal’s report Monday night. The Journal says the official announcement could come as soon as Tuesday.
The decision follows months of frenzied speculation over which city in North America would win the coveted 8-million-square-foot headquarters with its high-paying salaries and the potential to attract billions of dollars in additional development.
