Reactions have continued to trail Amazon.com Inc abrupt scrapping of plans for a new headquarters in New York that could have created 25,000 jobs.
The company said on Thursday, it did not see consistently “positive, collaborative” relationships with state and local officials.
Opponents of the project feared congestion and higher rents in Long Island City, Queens, and objected to incentives for a company run by Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man.
The online retailer carried out a highly publicized year-long contest to pick a location for a $5 billion second headquarters, drawing bids from across the United States and Canada.
It ultimately split plans to add 50,000 jobs between New York and Arlington, Virginia, near Washington.
