The New York Times is reporting that Amazon has officially chosen NYC and DC as the locations for its big planned expansion, known as HQ2.
This is big news for NYC, as I wrote about last week.
I would like to welcome Amazon to NYC. I think this is going to work out great for Amazon and for NYC.
I know there are plenty of “not in my back yard” opponents to this idea and folks who think growth is bad and we should not grow until we fix things that are straining under the load.
I appreciate all of those concerns. They are valid at some level.
But I am a fan of grow, prosper, invest, fix, grow, prosper.
And we are doing that in NYC right now.
