Rep. Zeldin Statement on Amazon HQ2 Withdrawal from New York City

PATCHOGUE, NY - Today, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) issued the following statement following Amazon’s decision to withdraw from their plans to build their second headquarters in Long Island City:

“New York’s First Congressional District would be happy to be Amazon’s Valentine today and take these 25,000 great paying jobs! New York wouldn’t even need all the subsides if we didn’t have one of the worst business climates in the United States. We must level the playing field, reduce taxes and burdensome regulations, stop picking winners and losers and much will improve.”

Congressman Zeldin also posted a tweet on the topic here.
